Most importantly it works extremely well! Sometimes, when playing piano, I may adjust my seating and when the time comes to press the sustain pedal I have moved slightly out of position to press it down fully. But the pedal picks up the signal and it sets the sustain just as I would expect from a real piano. The reason I am mentioning this is because I do know of some plastic sustain pedals for keyboards that DO NOT set the sustain unless you press that pedal all the way to the base and I do not like that. This can get you in a bad habit of "stomping" the sustain pedal which will lead to damaging the pedal and it creates a subtle but none the less audible "thud" in grand pianos. However, this pedal is forgiving and it never get's stuck in a pressed position (again, like some plastic pedals I know of)
The pedal has a rubber grip that covers the whole underside to prevent from sliding and it has weight to it which is really important. When I press down on the pedal it always remains stationary and the feel/resistance from the pedal is spot on with that of a baby grand piano (which Is what I play on when I'm at my mother's home - I grew up with the instrument.) Underneath the pedal (on the base, not the pedal) there is a raised rubber stopper which prevents the pedal from every touching the plastic base. This is fantastic because you will never hear "tap" sound when pressing the pedal down all the way. It also doesn't have noisy springs inside which make a subtle crackling/popping sound when compressing and expanding. I have heard these affects on other plastic sustain pedals. This pedal is excellent quality.
Not only does it feel right, it also looks fantastic. The sturdy plastic case is a nice solid black and the chrome pedal itself is just gorgeous! It is a smooth round shape at the end which I prefer - it looks really nice. It comes with a small plastic cover for the chrome portion (doesn't cover the whole thing, just the majority). It is a sturdy cover, not just a cheap and flimsy one to keep it safe during shipping, it is part of the product. It fits snugly when attached, doesn't slide and is easy to remove. I have decided to keep it on just too keep the chrome shiny for as long as possible. It is a pedal to be proud of.
The cable is long (~6ft), perhaps longer that necessary for any setup I can think of but regardless; I would much rather prefer too long than too short when it comes to cables. I am sure anyone else would obviously agree. The plug is the standard 1/4 inch and it too is well made. It isn't flimsy.
The only issue I experience (know before reading the rest that it may not be an issue with the pedal) is having the sustain pedal invert when I turn on the piano. This means that pedal will set it's sustain while unpressed and shut of the sustain when pressed. This only happens rarely which is strange - might happen from pressing down the pedal while powering on the keyboard but I'm not sure. Either way, It really doesn't bother me so much. If this issue occurs for you it is easily fixed by powering off the keyboard, removing the plug, putting it back in and turning the keyboard back on. However, I can't say it is even the pedal's fault because it could just as easily be the keyboard's fault (which I think is more likely and makes more sense). I just thought this would be fair to mention just in case it is the pedal.
To sum it up - I can't see any other pedal performing better, feeling better or looking better than this pedal at this price or even more! It is an excellent choice! I recommend it.
The description given on the Amazon site includes the following three phrases:
1- Designed to work and feel just like acoustic piano's sustain pedal.
2- . . . with expressive half-pedal capabilities.
3- Piano Style Action
I'm far from being an expert on this. However, I know that this pedal is actually an ON-OFF switch with no gradation between those two states. I find each of the three phrases above at least misleading. Number 2 is simply incorrect.
It cannot 'express' itself in a 'half-pedal' (or half-damper) state which I think means the digital equivalent of the acoustic piano's damper pedal which, when pressed, swings the damper cushions completely away from their normal position of pressing against the strings. Doing this allows the sound of the strings to continue as the sound fades to silence naturally. With the damper pedal at a so-called halfway point the pianist can cause the damper cushions to slightly touch the strings, slightly reducing the sustaining effect until the pedal is released to silence. I'm used to an acoustic piano and was looking for more control than you get from a binary (instantly)ON to (instantly)OFF. I found that marketing really pushes the envelope with 'works and feels like an acoustic' which simply means that the pedal,
not the sound effect, "moves up and down with resistance similar to that of the acoustic pedal". But "works" like an
acoustic? Yeah. And, since the dampers look to be part of the Piano's "ACTION" which is the series of levers and hammers that translate the press of a piano key to the sound that it makes by causing a hammer to hit a string or strings, I felt that saying it has "Piano Style Action" would only barely stand up in court. This is a popular pedal, with
a polarity switch which is a big assist in mating the pedal to the keyboard. It's a beautiful looking thing and feels really nice underfoot. Nothing wrong with the pedal - only with the description - plus, it's inexpensive. Mine quickly developed an intermittent habit of cutting out while my foot held the pedal in the sustaining position, but it seems to have a good warranty and I could have it repaired, but I purchased it based on the promised half-damper effect which
is at best inaccurate. Amazon is not being intentionally devious. I suppose not all technical writers are musicians. I'm a very amateur piano player returning to the keyboard after many years without a piano to play. My technical knowledge is limited and based upon several days of web-surfing vendors and musician forums. I recently purchased the Roland DP-10 which really does have half-damper capability with a switch to toggle between ON-OFF and half-Damper. I just can't seem to get half-damper working on my Yamaha P-95 which I know is capable of it. However, I find that its sustain effect is not as quick to get muddied as the M-audio SP-2. Not such a big deal, maybe more of a personal preference - and the DP-10 is more expensive.
