Casio CS-55P Privia Stand

Advantages: Reliable switching action, durable
Disadvantages: Not piano-style, can slip, cable perhaps too long

...I use this as an una corda pedal with my Casio Privia PX-310 stage piano, alongside an SP-20 as the main sustain pedal. As you'd expect from Casio, it's well-made and has served me well through many gigs and even more hours of practice at home. This pedal is a class above the cheaper models available in this design and the switching action is positive and reliable. Obviously though, anyone hoping for the realistic action and feel of a "proper" piano pedal will be disappointed. Despite the rubber underside, slipping can be a problem on some stages. At nearly 2 m (6 ft), the attached cable is almost certainly longer than you'll need and this can contribute to the inevitably messy-looking stage, but it's a minor gripe. A perfectly acceptable budget sustain pedal, but before long you'll want to spend a little more on a proper piano... Read review

Advantages: Well-made, robust, reliable, good piano pedal feel

...I use this as the main sustain pedal with my Casio Privia PX-310 stage piano. As you'd expect from Casio, it's well-made and has served me well through many gigs and even more hours of practice at home. The feel of the pedal is excellent - far better than with the smaller switch pedals available - and players of "real" pianos shouldn't find the switch difficult. The action is positive and reliable, so you needn't worry about missing the odd pedal point, unlike with cheaper pedals. Despite the rubber underside, slipping can be a problem on some stages, though there are attachment points at the front of the pedal for an optional heel mat to eliminate this. At nearly 2 m (6 ft), the attached cable is almost certainly longer than you'll need and this can contribute to the inevitably messy-looking stage, but it's a minor gripe. All... Read review

Advantages: Good sound quality, full size keys, good for practicing when people are sleeping!
Disadvantages: Keys are very light, but it depends what you are looking for.

...socket, a line out socket and a 12 Volts dc socket. All of these are located at the back of the keyboard. 8) The digital piano comes with a music stand that looks like a bracket which locates in two holes near the back of the digital piano. 9) The colour of the digital piano is black with the keys being black and white in the traditional fashion. My experience of the Casio CPS-700 Digital Piano It is a beautiful looking instrument. Before I got this keyboard, I was thinking about buying a keyboard at some point and then I never bothered because I didn't think I would use it often enough to justify the cost of one. However, a work colleage at the time (2001) told me his sister had a keyboard and wasn't using it. He asked if I was interested in having it. I said yes. He gave me it for free. What a blessing...
