Great product!!!!

A portable sustain pedal is a compact and often more lightweight version of the traditional piano sustain pedal, designed to be used with digital pianos, keyboards, and synthesizers. These pedals usually feature a switchable polarity, making them compatible with a wide range of electronic instruments. They often have a rubberized base to prevent slipping during use and a durable construction to withstand frequent transport and use. Portable sustain pedals are great for musicians who need to perform or practice in different locations, offering the same functionality as a built-in sustain pedal on an acoustic piano.

Feels cheap

Yamaha has apparently "improved" on their venerable FC4 sustain pedal by lowering their manufacturing costs with the FC4A. Instead of the heavy, stable hard-rubber-feeling FC4 that I could count on to always stay where I put it during performances, the FC4 is made of hard plastic and no longer stays put when propped along the base leg of my Ultimate Support keyboard stand. It's sad to see such a solid, dependable product as the FC4 being replaced by cheap plastic pedal, and I'll be looking for an alternate product when it comes time to buy new pedals again.

    Has a wider base than my old model, so it's a bit more stable underfoot. Solidly built, with a natural action that does the job without distraction or annoying glitches--exactly what's required.

  • Yes, great buy.
