Feels Like the Real Deal

Featuring the kind of soft resistance a full-sized piano pedal gives, the SP-2 feels just like playing an acoustic piano. The give and take playback allows the musician to be confident that when they press the sustain pedal, the note lingers like it should. As soon as the musician lifts their foot, the note is gone. The SP-2 is as responsive as it needs to be.

Ideal for Home or the Concert Hall

This foot pedal is a full size piano pedal and is heavy enough to stay put even without the non-slide bottoms. At 10.5-inches long, the SP-2 Sustain Pedal won't falter under the largest of shoes.
