Yamaha FC4 - Piano Style Sustain Foot Pedal
The venerable FC4 sustain pedal has been in production for many years, for several good reasons - it's very well built, it feels like a piano pedal, and it offers a lot of variation in the amount of sustain that's engaged, depending on how fully the pedal is depressed. Truly, a professional expressive tool. A 6' cable, terminated with a 1/4" jack, is included.

Comments about Yamaha FC4 - Piano Style Sustain Foot Pedal:
when just sitting there plugged in, it has a value of less than 64. But depress the pedal, and BAM!!! a value of greater than 64!. Let the pedal up, and it's right back to less than 64.
Seriously, I bought this because I have an old roland that works on my Motif, but the cord is so short that putting the motif on top tier of a 2 tier stand for a *sitting* gig is almost not possible. FC4 cord is longer, and now gets the gig for 2 keyboard gigs.

Comments about Yamaha FC4 - Piano Style Sustain Foot Pedal:
I went with the bigger FC4 over the FC3 for its solid real and weight the FC3 is light and tends to get away from you when vigorously jamming. Over all a good fit for a musician on the road

Comments about Yamaha FC4 - Piano Style Sustain Foot Pedal:
Pedal does the basic job of Sustain on or off. Sturdy and stable. Well made. I don't know if it supports "half-pedaling" since that isn't a feature of the keyboard it's being used on.

Comments about Yamaha FC4 - Piano Style Sustain Foot Pedal:
I use it with my M audio keyboard and it works and feels perfect. theres a bit of weight in it which on my opinion is better than the small pedals that you can get plus those easily break based on experience.

I have had no problems with the foot pedal thus far. It is heavy-weight, and better quality than I anticipated. Plus, this website had the best price I could find online.
