5.0 out of 5 stars Great pedal ! Update - nearly 8yrs later !

R.O. · 15 July 2016

UPDATE from my original posting below : I still stand by all I have said below, but after nearly 8yrs of service, the pedal has died on me. I think perhaps I have abused the pedal too much - mainly plugging the jack into the back of my organ keyboard, then lowering the pedal, from behind the keyboard, down to the ground, by holding the cable - so the full weight of the pedal is dangling on the cable.So, with said abuse, 8yrs service is pretty good. I have decided I will buy another Yamaha FC-7 - and resolve to take better care of it ! Read my comments below, from 8yrs ago - it has been a great, reliable pedal :2016 - My thoughts :Excellent volume/expression pedal.Up until recently, I had a Hammond SK2 dual-manual organ clone - and I used the corresponding Hammond EXP-50 expression pedal.While the EXP-50 pedal is built like a tank, it is perhaps too heavy. My main gripe with the EXP-50 is I play the organ, standing up, as I have my e.piano below it. The EXP-50 isn't great to use standing up. I sold the EXP-50 with my Hammond SK2.I bought a new Hammond "clone" - a Mag C2 organ. I needed a new volume/expression pedal - and my main thought was the Yamaha FC-7 pedal as everyone else raves about it. I now can see why. It does look a bit too generic for my taste though - not very stylish. It feels as solid as the EXP-50, and feels just as solid. I haven't noticed it sliding around on the floor either.However, I works great - and important for me, with a 3 min adjustment (unscrew ONE screw, pull out a metal clip, slide the whole mechanism and footplate itself, further back about 1cm, then replace the metal clip and screw) - it now works easily standing up - without any strain on the ankle or knee. Great result. And, it's much less expensive than the EXP-50.Also quite handy, the cable wraps up inside the pedal when being stored - although that is a bit fiddly to do.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good and well made pedal

I have a Yamaha keyboard which has a built-in sustain feature but it was never designed to be used for practical reason. Without a doubt I need to invest on an external sustain pedal that I have more and better control of. Thankfully my keyboard has an external jack. The Yamaha FC5 came on top of my selection list. Apart from the obvious brand, I thought on the safe side I should get a Yamaha make. The other brand may work but I did not take that chance.Build and appearance:It looks and feels sturdy. It is very compact and easily stored away in one of the side compartment of my portable keyboard carrying case.Performance:I was very impressed and well pleased. The sustain sensitivity level is just right, very close to what I was expecting, being a pianist myself. However, the non-slippery base does not hold the pedal well on floor surfaces such as vinyl and carpet. This means I have to keep using my foot to position it when playing. Not a big issue as I have since added a better quality non-slippery base.Conclusion:It is very unlikely that you will experience compatibility issue if you have a Yamaha keyboard and a safe one to go for. But there is no reason why this will not work on other make. I feel the price is at the top end hence I only give it 4 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very very good.

I bought my last Yamaha FC5 foot pedal from Bolo in 2015 and it was somehow lost earlier this year, and still worked properly after over 9 years. I've used other models and the last two only lasted for 3 weeks each. Yamaha products are good.

Good item

5.0 out of 5 stars Reassuringly well made!

J.J. · 5 February 2015

I should mention that I haven't in fact used this yet, so my five stars are based on this pedal's physical properties rather than its performance. I chose this one over all the rest of its type because it was physically the largest I could find, which together with the rubber underside I'm hoping will keep it in one place when I use it. It's satisfyingly heavy and seems to have just the right amount of resistance when closing it, which it does smoothly and quietly and does the same when returning to the open position. It appears to be very substantial and well made as you'd expect from Yamaha and it should be borne in mind that these pedals have to stand up to a lot of use and abuse so they need to be tough. However, anyone buying one of these must be sure that the keyboard/instrument they will be using it with has the option to change the polarity in software as it doesn't have a switch. I suppose it would work out of the box with any Yamaha gear and probably most other manufacturers too, but it's worth bearing that in mind. Incidentally, years ago I had a similar sustain/damper pedal from some other keyboard manufacturer which had a quarter inch jack socket at the back instead of a lead so you could use whatever length of cable you wanted and your choice of straight or right angled jack plug at either end. I liked that idea because I prefer to keep my cables at an optimum length to avoid the inevitable snarl-ups, but I haven't seen it on any of the many pedals I've been looking at recently.

安定感、踏み心地◯

Produto funciona muito bem é durável!

Indubbiamente il prodotto è costoso, ma ormai chi acquista un pianoforte digitale da palco Yamaha, ottimo peraltro, deve mettere in conto l'acquisto di un pedale di espressione, perché quello di default è una scatoletta di plastica, senza alcuna stabilità nè feedback al piede, per cui inutile.Posso valutare il prodotto esclusivamente sotto il profilo pianistico, non avendo alcuna pratica di MIDI, ed in quest'ambito il prodotto è eccellente. Robustissimo, bellissimo, con un feedback da pianoforte acustico di qualità, consente un effetto smorzato indispensabile per ottenere un effetto sustain degno di questo nome. Gli switch ON/OFF forse sensati su un sintetizzatore, non capisco che senso abbiano su un pianoforte che ha un effetto grand piano peraltro formidabile, con la profondità di un pianoforte a coda, per cui un sustain spinto e poco qualitativo finisce per forza, soprattutto sui bassi, per creare impasti non gradevoli. La qualità del prodotto in questo è indiscutibile, il sustain si può graduare al millimetro, sentendo perfettamente il pedale sotto il piede, ottenendo un effetto di grande valore, irraggiungibile con uno switch tutto o niente.Per questa ragione, per la sua bellezza, robustezza e solidità il prodotto, nonostante il prezzo, è vivamente consigliato!
