Side by Side Comparison of: Casio vs Auray

This is the best pedal I've found for Casio keyboards. It isn't very loud, but it does sustain as it should. Very glad I purchased it!

Much better build quality than the M-Audio pedals. Casual players won't notice a difference, but if you play every day then this pedal is a must-have.

Using with a casio keyboard. My son wanted to be able to use the sustain pedal on his keyboard, just like at piano lessons, and this does the job. I looked at the cheaper casio pedal that looks like an old sewing machine foot pedal and was not impressed, so I sprung the extra $10 for this one. Works well.

After purchasing several universal keyboard pedals, I decided to do a little researching. After searching the internet, I decided to just check reviews of pedals on Amazon. I wish I had done this a few wasted pedal purchases & months earlier. I discovered via the reviews that Casio had a "reversed" polarity in their keyboards - thus the reason why non-Casio pedals worked briefly or not at all with my Casio-WK3800. The Casio SP20 works great. It looks & feels like a sustain pedal from any grand piano - with no slipping or sliding on carpet or non-carpeted floors. Thanks Amazon for posting reviews on items purchased. They led me in the right direction.

I've only played about an hour with it so far, but it was heavier and higher quality than I expected--this is a good thing! I really like this pedal.I chose this one over the others I saw because of the 90 degree plug that allows the cord to fall nicely behind the keyboard. The straight plugs don't make sense to me for this application--the cord would stick out behind your keyboard and you'd have tension pulling down on the cable possibly causing issues later on.

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 Auray Universal Piano-Style Sustaining Pedal works great on my Suzuki.

Works great!

Wonderful, love it!

I've used this for probably 5 shows. The unit seems solid for the price. It functions well as a sustain pedal and feels good underfoot. It does however move all over the place, even on carpeted surfaces. That said, I've yet to find a keyboard sustain pedal that sits where I want it to all night so, take that into consideration. I'd just love to find one that I don't have to reposition after every song.

I do like it, but am surprised that it does not sustain the notes for very long. I expected it to work more like a piano sustain pedal. Also, it tends to slide a lot, and I have had to be inventive to keep it in place.

Much better than the crap one they bundle with it. This has a nice heavy base and a good feel. Definitely a must buy for something like this.

Good pedal. Works with my Casio Privia series piano.Doesn't slip and weighted well. It is not a half damping pedal (for some reason I thought it was when I purchased it).

Sits on floor well, doesnt move. Press down to sustain, and lift to end the note. Heavy durable feel. MUCH better than the free one that came with the casio keyboard i got.

The pedal came in timely manner, with all the packaging and warranty papers. Easy to use, just plug in and play. It closely resembles the pedal of a real piano. It does what it is supposed to do, sustaining the sound of your keyboard until the pedal is released.Then why 4 stars?The sustain sounds great, but does not last as long as I expected like on a real piano. Then again, a keyboard is not going to sound like a piano. Therefore, it's just my personal preference, and not the Casio's fault.

Good quality and price. A+

good

Works decently well as a sustain pedal. You kinda have to push down hard to get it to work though. It's fine to play with if you're used to pushing the pedal with your whole foot - you won't even notice a difference. But if you're used to playing with your toes, it'll be kinda hard to press. All in all, it's a good pedal.

Doesn't stay in place when using -- not good on carpeting

It works great but my keyboard isn't working a few days after? could of been my kids or the pedal? Don't really know...

I don't think that you can do much soft pedalling with a casino branded piano. Probably go with a Yamaha piano if you want your piano to have better capability with soft pedalling.

I got this pedal a few years ago and am still using it. However, if you are using the pedal on some types of carpet it is hard for the pedal to stay in place. In all, this is great for the casio pianos and sustains the sound clearly.

It makes the echo noises that it should but not as much as I thought it would. I had high expectations for this, but it's not too bad.

The metal on the end you put your foot on moves side to side by 1/4 inch so the plastic stop underneath hits the side of the hollowed out metal and misses the felt pad that's stuck to the metal bit and makes a metal to plastic 'clack' noise. I have put a old sock over the base bit and this helps the noise, thought a branded make would have been better made. Two stars only cus it works on a casio ctk 6250.....not sure how long the pedal is going to last, perhaps that's why it's on offer.

Update: the spring in it has sound when you release the pedal.. It interrupts the piano playing..Original comment: much better than the plastic one come with the Casio Piano.

Meh. Sometimes it sustains... sometimes it doesn't. You have to angle your foot juuuuuust right. Quite frustrating.

I don't know why I got so bad luck for recent shopping. I bought a casio keyboard, and one of the keys makes a big and clear noise when the key bounces back, and this pedal, also makes significant noise when I step off. So when I am playing music, it naturally has a background beat, oh not only one but two, and you can imagine how annoying it is. I recorded some my plays and friend asked me if I was playing with metronome.

Worked beautifully for 6 months--easy installation, just plugged it in. Kept the sustain perfectly, like playing a real piano.Then after 6 months it suddenly stopped working completely.Disappointing. Usually Casio is a good brand, but this appears to be an inferior product.

This has a very nice solid, weighted feel, but the functionality is poor. Its not totally reliable. Sometimes with the pedal pressed the keys do not sustain. When lifting my foot off the pedal, the muting of the keys isn't always predictable or immediate. I use this with a casio CTK-2300 keyboard so there should not be any compatibility issues.

Worked great for about a month, then just quit. I had to buy another peddle, another brand which is working.

Will not work with my Casio PX-110 keyboard. I followed the instructions in the keyboard manual.. has no activity at all.

Pedal constantly sticks to the base. Very very noisy.

Did not come in working condition.
