Casio SP-20 Piano-Style Sustain Pedal

I scoured the internet for a new pedal for my Casio Privia. I read some bad reviews but here’s the thing- it’s an apparatus made for stomping (pressing) on repeatedly. I don’t expect it to last a lifetime, but for the money I think it will serve me many more years of live music performances. I’ve used it for the better part of a year, gigging once or twice a month with no issue. It has a decently authentic feel but is also fairly heavy and has some grip on the bottom. I’ve seen reviews saying it slides around—- I use a small rug underneath as ANY pedal will slide if you don’t. (Again—- you are stepping on it repeatedly) I’ve also read some reports that it makes a tinging/ metallic sound but given that I play solo 99% of the time and have never had that issue, I’m guessing that has more to do with the users’ keys themselves. It also has never squeaked like my last pedal did. Very pleased so far. Use common sense with it & it’s a great buy!

I love it, I've been using one of the cheap plastic pedal things and absolutely hated it. this is heavy and stays in place on my tile floor and it works perfectly, just like a "real" piano. Absolutely LOVE IT. I do want to say, I saw some reviews where people said it didn't work for them. Well, at first I plugged this into the wrong spot and of course it didn't work. So do check that you put it in the correct place. I also saw a review that said that casio piano's have a different "polarity??" for their pedal connection so if you get a different kind it won't work correctly. I was very grateful for that review. One last word of advice for anyone looking at the "best seller" to read all the negative reviews. It seemed very strange to me for an electric piano pedal to have that many reviews ( i think it was over 2,000) lots of 5 stars and then quite a few 1 stars. I think the 5 stars for that product are "planted". Anyway, I'm glad I kept scrolling and found this one. the cord is quite thick ( rather ugly) but that's the only negative i can find.

I have a Casio CDP 220R digital piano which came with a SP3 sustain pedal. The keyboard is wonderful, but the pedal became a frustration because it wouldn't stop moving around the floor no matter how hard I tried to stabilize it. Finally, I upgraded to the SP20. What a nice pedal it is. Instead of focusing on keeping the pedal in one place I could finally concentrate on playing the music. It is well constructed and heavy enough not to move. Another great feature is the L-shaped plug, which lets you move the keyboard closer to the wall and doesn't put any pressure on the jack. The SP20 is comfortable to use and feels like the pedal you'd expect on an acoustic piano. A great upgrade from the SP3.

Tried a Roland DP-10 Real-Feel Pedal with Non-Slip Rubber Plate that had a switch on the side to change polarity but it was not fully compatible with the Casio PX-S3100 Privia keyboard to activate and disengage as a sustain pedal. This Casio SP-20 pedal functions as it should and I have used it on dozens of gigs at varying types of venues indoors and in dirty settings outdoors. Never had any reliability issues, though I wipe it fairly clean before stuffing it back into the Casio case when packing up after each gig. This pedal seems high priced to me but it works. With many other pedals I've had to keep the ball of my foot atop the body and use my heel to activate the pedal. This one actually grips well enough on different types of surfaces so that it rarely moves and can be played normally. It is quality, I just think it is overpriced and dislike that I couldn't get a more universal pedal that I would likely use for other devices as well. Other reviewers have noted that the onset is not as smooth as some pedals and I have noticed the same but since I use this only in live settings and not in the studio, and the Casio keyboard isn't nearly the quality of a high end KORG or NORD, it isn't an issue. Especially if playing lots of upbeat music for large dance crowds where no one's discerning ear will ever notice.

Pedal is just a toggle on off switch, but what else would you expect for a digital pedal?. Item is sturdy and well built. Plug is sturdy too. Works perfectly on my Yamaha portable keyboard. I would buy it again. Guitar center wants more than $35 up to $50 for a similar pedal. Better to just buy this one as a quality name brand product if you can wait a few days to get it in the mail.

I've been playing piano for most of my life (24 years), and Casio keyboards for almost 15 years. I've used several different kinds (and brands) of pedals with my keyboards. At first, I had a Casio Pedal in a lower model - Either the current SP3R or the equivalent that was available 15 years ago. Either way, it was a small black plastic square, which is obviously different than the sustain pedal on an actual piano. Likewise, it felt just about as real as it looked; it consstantly slid out of place was very stiff - i pretty much had to stomp on it to make sure it was all the way down. One night, it literally broke into pieces in the middle of a gig, and I started using more life-like pedals from other keyboard brands. I had borrowed friends' pedals from Yamaha (and a few more brands i don't remember) and quickly learned that they worked the opposite way of how they were supposed to work; when i didn't step on the pedal the notes would sustain, and stopped when i stepped down. Appearantly, all Casio keyboards are made with the opposite polarity of most brands ... great. I knew a couple of keyboardists who could play with a pedal like that, but I could never get the hang of it. So I eventually got a "universal" pedal from OnStage Gear. It has a polarity switch on the bottom so that it should work with any keyboard. For a year or two, it worked fine (with a little slippage here and there). But gradually it became unreliable. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. I tested the switch on a friend's Yamaha keyboard and it worked, but not on my Casio. I got another one that immeadiately started acting funny on me, and the third one didn't work for me at all, though they all worked fine on my friend's Yamaha. Then I finally found the Casio SP20. It looked and felt real, the rubber textured bottom kept it from slipping, and most of all IT WORKED! The only reason i just got a new one after three years is because I sold it with my old Casio keyboard (in order to get a higher model Casio). So far, this new pedal works just as great as the last one does. The Casio SP20 truly is the ONLY sustain pedal I've found that works RELIABLY with Casio keyboards.

The pedal is great quality and helps me add the extra touch to my notes. It's a fairly big pedal which is good as it adds a little bit of weight to it. The pedal doesn't move around too much on me feels comfortable. I really like it.

I needed to get a better pedal for my Casio in a bit of a hurry for a funeral service! This is perfect, and it made the music sound great! Great price, quick service!

I was surprised by how heavy this pedal is - feels like it's made mostly of metal. The bottom has a thick rubber mat attached. It plugged right into the "Sustain" port on my Casio WP-6500 keyboard and worked perfectly right out of the box. The sustain itself sounds very nice. Note for buyers in Canada, while purchased from Amazon.ca when it arrived there was an Amazon.com invoice in the box, which is why it takes a little bit to ship.

The Pedal was purchased for my 12 yr old daughter. It came well before the stated 2 to 3 weeks, which has been a very pleasant surprise for her. She unpacked and connected, and after playing for a few minutes, called me to tell me, it is working, but this pedal came to her as a gift. Well :0) this continues to amaze her. It is working well. It has been a few hours since it has come.

Works very well with CT X700. I was contemplating cheap Chinese pedals but decided against them after reading reviews. Some mentioned that the SP20 is hard to press but mine is fine. It is smooth and quiet. *Update* I am now using it with the PX-S1100. The DP came with a SP-34 but the build quality of this SP-20 is much better. The pedal is longer and the sole is fully covered with rubber. In contrast, the SP-34 has tiny pedals and 6 tiny rubber feet that are already dropping off because of the inferior adhesive. The SP-34 only superior feature is half-pedalling, which the SP-20 is missing.
