    5.0 out of 5 stars It’s a foot pedal, not a viola bow!

    (function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } Seems to work just fine. I’m just confused by Bolos description as a Yamaha FC5 Viola Bow. Not sure how it would work as a bow, but as a sustain foot pedal it is great.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Durable and functional - especially for live use

    T. · July 2, 2014

    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.

    Great pedal. Our original one that came with the keyboard broke and I ordered this one. It’s better. Metal. Our old one was plastic.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Buy but Won't suit my Setup

    R. · May 27, 2023

    Fantastic Build quality and easy enough to press. Also super compact enough to shove in any gig bag without concern.My issue is just that it doesn't work in the intended manner for my Akai MPK MiniPlay. When Pressing the pedal, sustain turns off. When not holding the pedal, it sustains the notes pressed... I've read this is due to "Reverse Polarity", so I've tried various fixes with turning off the device and replugging, but had no luck fixing it for any more then a single pedal push. I've not tried pulling the batteries on my Akai MiniPlay to troubleshoot it... but if I had to do that every time before starting my sessions, I'd just get a pedal with a polarity switch and save myself the trouble...The M-Audio SP-2 I replaced this with works flawlessly. I will try this compact one with my larger casio keyboard, but I may just end up returning it. Not really a point in having two sustain Pedals at the moment.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Yamaha quality!

    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).

    5.0 out of 5 stars Tis item is a professional standard for interruptible pedals. Built to last!!

    R.R. · February 10, 2025

    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.

    l.b. · May 30, 2025

    With the piano on, I plugged in the foot pedal and it didn't work properly, it worked in reverse of its intended design.Many people have complained about this odd thing happening.I turned the piano off and unplugged the foot pedal, then I plugged the foot pedal back inthen turned the piano on and it works properly.Yamaha can do better by informing us of this with documentation in the box.
