Yamaha FC 5 Sustain Pedal

Yamaha FC5

It is well made and works great. I use it with my Yamaha Reface CP.

Just perfect for my needs

Purchased this pedal for my camper van, as I have a piano fitted. I loved the rubber backing so the pedal didn't slide around when using it on polished floors

Real good

I bought this one as a second one. My first I actually have been used since 1987 when I got my Roland D-50. I sold that one, but still got, and still working FC 5 sustain pedal...

Great sustain pedal

Save your money and buy this sustain pedal.

Straightforward pedal that works so far has worked fine. Good value for money.

Simple, durable and effective

Simple and sturdy. I have it for few years now and use it mostly with synth/workstation. I got another one, fancier and more expensive purely for digital piano and after 2 years it failed, so I took that cheap Yamaha FC 5 out of my box and it still does the job.

Sturdy slim design

I use it with my Nord Electro 6D keyboard to control both the sustain and the leslie simulation depending on which program I am at.

I'm very satisfied because I got exactly what I needed, a metal pedal with a slim design and great response. Has a nice rubber underneath so it doesn't move as you press it.

Bear in mind that this model doesn't have the polarity switch. I have no problem with this since I can change the polarity on my Nord keyboard.

All in all a nice simple product that does it's job and feels sturdy!

It's a pedal - and it's sturdy

Well built, rugged and long-lasting. I've had to replace a couple of times over the years, but they do go through a beating. The only gripe I'd have is that it can be quite noisy in oepration after a while. Perhaps taking it apart and lubricating the hinge may assist - I may try that when it gets a little noisier!

Great pedal for MIDI keyboards

I decided to get this pedal even though I couldn't find an answer online whether this one would work with my Novation Launchkey MIDI keyboard. To my surprise, it works very well and haven't had any issues so far. Feels very sturdy as well!

Wow, this was a surprise - fantastic!

I've owned several different brands of sustain pedals (M-Audio, Nord, Proel) and they are all big, bulky and quite reliable, so I had my doubts when I ordered the tiny FC-5. Wow, it was quite a surprise - VERY durable, fully metallic housing with a good rubber grip and an overall pleasing and reliable click of the switch. It effectively replaced all of my sustain pedals in a heartbeat.
