Universal sustain pedal

This crucial accessory allows players to extend notes, adding depth and expressiveness to their keyboard performances.

A universal sustain pedal lets a keyboard player hold notes after lifting their hands, just like the right pedal on an acoustic piano. It suits anyone who owns a digital piano or electronic keyboard without a pedal and wants their playing to sound fuller.
