 Push this pedal ... March 12, 2007

This item is extremely hard to find in the retail market. Once again a company website makes it easy to order accessories.
 May require settings change to operate with Yamaha keyboards January 28, 2007
11 out of 12 found this review helpful
A couple of previous reviewers have mentioned problems with sustain operation; the first couldn't get the pedal to operate and the second described changing the pedal's switch setting. While the pedal does have a switch that may correct the sustain operation with some keyboards, it may not be enough to allow reliable operation with all keyboards. I couldn't get it to work with my Yamaha CP300 with the pedal's make/break slide switch in either position. I had to change the Yamaha "pedal type" setting to "break" (under the "other settings" menu) and set the SP-2 slide switch back to the factory default (position "1").
I was curious why this problem occurred, thinking that perhaps my pedal was defective, so I checked it with an ohm-meter and found that it only goes to 150-300 ohms when conducting. I opened it up and saw that it uses elastomeric switches, and this high "on" resistance is a characteristic of these switches. It seems that the Yamaha is expecting a lower "on" resistance, so just switching the SP-2 slide switch isn't enough to make the Yamaha see the switch go closed in "make" mode.
Mine seems to be reliable (so far), and there could be enough variation between units that this problem may not occur with every Yamaha user. I'd buy another SP-2, but I'd make sure that I knew the store's return policy if I was planning to use it with a Yamaha keyboard.
Additionally, even though everyone is referring to this as a "sustain" pedal, it doesn't allow the "partial sustain" that the real Yamaha FC-3 supports on some of the Yamaha digital pianos, so this pedal should only be used for the "soft", "sostenuto", or "aux" functions on the CP300.
High quality pedal January 24, 2007

The piano style pedal looks and feels like the real thing. It has weight and does not slip about the floor. The length should not be a problem for most users. I set mine at an angle and it feels fine. I use a Casio keyboard and the default position of the compatibility switch was correct. The plug seems a little bit long and I found it worked best if I did not push it in all the way, otherwise I have only praise for the pedal.

This sustain pedal works well with my Yamaha ytp300 keyboard. It feels very similar to my antique upright piano sustain pedal.
universal pedal January 10, 2007
Met my specs; rubber feet for nonslip, heavy-duty metal lever, sturdy cord to back of instrument, competitive price. recommended.
