 Sustain PedalFeb 22, 2010
Excellent purchase. Much better sound than the cheap plastic foot pedal my key board came with. I would recommend this sustain pedal for someone who is looking for a better sound on their keyboard.
MUST BE PLUGGED IN BEFORE TURNING ON KEYBOARD OR SUSTAIN IS ALWAYS ONFeb 20, 2010
Read this and you will save yourself a lot of potential frustration. On my son's Yamaha keyboard I learned that you must have the FC4 footpedal, and probably the FC3 as well, plugged in BEFORE you turn on the keyboard or the sustain is always on and will only go off when you press the keyboard (reverse of normal operation). We had originally purchased an FC3 foot pedal and returned it to amazon for this same problem. I read many of the FC3 reviews only to learn others had the same complaint. I'm sure the FC3 would work the same as the FC4 in this regard so we wasted a lot of time. All that being said, we are going to keep the FC4 as it meets my son's expectations for $25 less than the FC3. My understanding is the FC3 is more like a true piano sustain pedal in that it is variable, whereas the FC4 is on or off, which is all my son really wants.
Yamaha FC4 Pedal Does the stuffJan 30, 2010
This pedal adds a whole new feel to your Yamaha keyboard. No matter if it's an inexpensive unit or the higher priced models the feel of the action of this pedal makes it more like playing a full size piano. It doesn't matter if your an old pro or your just learning, purchase this pedal along with your Yamaha Keyboard.

 Poor quality control, purchase at your own riskJan 15, 2010
My church's original Kurzweil sustain pedal finally gave up after many years of heavy use, so we turned to this pedal as a replacement.
It worked for about two weeks, then the staff began complaining of intermittent failures. Within another two weeks, it failed completely. We replaced it with a Roland DP-10 (awesome pedal, highly recommended), while the FC4 went on a shelf in the office.
Fast-forward several more months. Tinkerer that I am, I "rediscovered" it on the shelf, and removed the cover to examine it. It turns out that the pedal failed because one of the wiring connections had NO SOLDER at all... the twist in the bare wire was the only thing holding it together. I'm amazed it lasted as long as it did!
As a result, I really can't recommend this pedal for professional use.
Stable PedalDec 29, 2009
Pedal works great. Was worried that it might be a bit top heavy and flip over but the base is solid and heavy to keep it stable. Much better that the pedal that came with the keyboard. Definitely worth the money.
