Sustain Pedals

[D.Jay]

hi guys
there really isnt much info on the web about this, can you guys recommend me one and do they all do the same?
i was looking in particular at the yamaha fc7

Depends how heavily you use them and how much of a similarity to an acoustic piano pedal you want.....

I don't use them much, and I don't have shoes on when I play, so I use something like this

I have several of the Yamaha FC7s and never had any problem with them.

You're using an fc7 as a sustain pedal?

I think he means a FC-5 pedal; FC-7 pedal is for volume or expression.

Oops, the part number for the Yamaha sustain pedals I'm using is actually "FC4" , the "piano style" pedal. Don

I thought you were just into "expressive sustains"

Here is the solution:
The SP-2 is a high-quality sustain pedal with expressive half-pedal capabilities.
