This pedal has many uses besides the obvious for Yamaha pianos and equipment.I use it on a Hammond SK-1 for the Leslie trigger.I use another one on my Hammond SK-1 for the sustain pedal on piano soundsI use another one with my Boss RC-1 looper for a one hit stop solution.I've beat on 'em for years. I've had one go bad after 15 20 years of continued use.

ずしりとした感じがあって少し高めではありますが、それなりの質感があります。しいて言うならば汚れが目立ちやすいですかね。ペダル部分の溝にホコリがよくたまります。まあ、自分はこんなの気にしないのでいいですが。

The product does its job for my keyboard and lasts a long 4-5 years on average from my experience! Important tool to have for sustained notes on keyboard!

Excellent addition to my keyboard. Works perfectly. It's quality is excellent. And if it's backwards like people talk about, just follow the instructions and it won't be. I absolutely recommend this product to anyone who needs a pedal. Thank you for a very nice product.

Se siente de buena calidad y funciona muy bien. Diría que es mejor que el que venía de fábrica. Esto para un piano Yamaha P45

While I love a traditional sustain pedal (i.e. Yamaha FC4A), this form factor just works better for live situations and my home office. This pedal has a nice rubber backing that doesn't slide around the floor (the FC4A seems to slide all over the place on solid floors and is a pain in the butt to reposition when you're playing live and it's wandered off). In addition, this pedal is smaller, so easier to have a sustain for each keyboard in a multi keyboard setup without taking up all your floorspace (I want volume pedals for all the keyboard too, so this just allows me more room). And best of all, they're inexpensive. I bought extras so I don't have to pack them when I take the keyboards out and I have an extra in the case as backup (although in 40+ years of playing all over the place I've never had a Yamaha piece of gear fail me).

If you have a problem with it, unplug it from keyboard (with keyboard on) and re-attach. That should solve most problems.

The pedal works great for triggering drum machines, punching in and out while recording, and for turning effects on and off. It's just a momentary switch, but functions well.It works fine as a sustain switch for keyboards, but, if you are used to real piano pedals, you may be disappointed, as the throw is much shorter and the feel is much different. Of course, it's only thirteen bucks so, you probably shouldn't expect a perfect feel as a sustain pedal.The rubber on both the top and bottom provides good grip. It doesn't move around much on my hardwood floor, and I like that the entire bottom surface is rubberized, instead of just having four rubber feet, like so many pedals have. I found that the top surface seems just a bit stickier than the bottom, so, if you have a really slick floor, you can just flip the footswitch over and use it like that.The cable is just the right length, without too much extra length to get tangled up in, but long enough for flexibility in placing the switch. I could see where a 1/4" jack instead of a hard-wired cable would be nice to allow users to change the length, and also to prevent the cable from wearing out, but if you take decent care of your gear, this pedal should last a long time.The housing is metal and seems sturdy, in case you are wondering.It seems like a good value, works like it should, and should last. It would be five stars if it was labeled simply as a "momentary foot switch" instead of as a sustain pedal. (even though it works as one) I'd be disappointed if I were expecting the feel of a sustain pedal, but am very happy with it as a momentary switch.Great deal!

These sustain pedals take some getting used to, but they are much better for live use than the sustain pedals that operate more like a traditional sustain pedal, in my opinion. Here's why:1) They don't have reliability issues - All traditional sustain pedals I have used (e.g., Yamaha FC4) develop problems with the actual mechanism (this includes models from Yamaha, On Stage and M Audio). They typically go down right in the middle of a live show, and either don't sustain or leave the sustain on at all times. Not fun. These little pedals never fail. I have had one for over 20 years, and it always works. Sometimes you need to re-tighten the side screws after extended use -- but that's it.2) They don't slide around as much as FC4 type sustain pedals -- much easier to keep reined in under your feet when performing - whether you stand or site when you play.3) They work better with Ultimate Support APEX-type stands -- because you can fit the sustain pedal in front of the feet on those stands. FC4-type sustain pedals must be angled sideways to be usable with an APEX-type stand unless you want to stand at a strange angle while playing. Angling those pedals will work -- but it further shortens the time you have before that type of sustain pedal wears out. Also, when you stand and play, you don't need to raise your foot as high with these FC-5 type pedals -- much less fatigue.4) They are easier to transport, because they are much smaller and lighter.5) They cost less -- especially when you consider they don't need to be replaced nearly as often.For me, it has been well worth the time to get used to how these pedals work to take advantage of improved reliability and stability. They also work really well as control footswitches (e.g., to trigger a Leslie fast/slow effect on a Nord or similar keyboard). Personally, I will not be buying any more FC4-type pedals. The ones I have that still work will be used at home.
