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 in all, this pedal does exactly what it's required to do, and does it reliably and well enough for gigging use!
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 sustainpedal. 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 sustainpedal, but before long you'll want to spend a little more on a proper piano ...
