Yamaha FC4A Piano-Style Sustain Pedal
The Yamaha FC4A is a piano-style foot switch for sustain and other momentary on/off functions. Yamaha shaped it to give a feel close to the sustain pedal of an acoustic piano, and designed it for digital pianos, keyboards, synthesizers and stage pianos.
It is a natural upgrade for students and players who find a small box-style switch unfamiliar under the foot, and for anyone who practises on both acoustic and digital instruments. A rubber underside keeps it in place, and a standard 1/4-inch plug connects it to your instrument's sustain or foot switch jack.
Key Features
Acoustic-piano pedal feel
The FC4A reproduces the shape and movement of an acoustic piano's pedal, so pedalling on a digital piano or keyboard feels familiar. This helps learners build the same foot technique they will use on an acoustic piano.
Non-slip rubber underside
A rubber base stops the pedal from sliding across the floor during a performance. You can concentrate on your playing instead of chasing the pedal with your foot.
Sustain at a press of the foot
Press the FC4A to hold notes, just as you would with the damper pedal on an acoustic piano. It is the most-used pedal function for piano voices and helps your playing sound smooth and connected.
Assignable switch functions on the FC4A
On instruments that let you assign the foot switch, the FC4A can call up the function or setting you have assigned with a simple press. One pedal can broaden what you control while your hands stay on the keys.
Simple on/off switching
The FC4A is a momentary on/off switch, so it works reliably with the wide range of instruments that use a standard foot switch input. It does not provide half-pedalling; for gradual sustain control, Yamaha offers the FC3A.
Standard 1/4-inch TS plug
The FC4A connects with a standard TS 1/4-inch plug. At 89 × 66 × 276 mm and 0.7 kg it is easy to carry between home, lessons and rehearsals.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Yamaha FC4A and the FC5?
Both are on/off foot switches for sustain and other momentary functions. The FC4A is a piano-style pedal designed to feel like the pedal of an acoustic piano, while the FC5 is a simpler foot switch design. Choose the FC4A if you want a more piano-like pedalling feel.
Does the FC4A support half-pedalling?
No. The FC4A is an on/off switch, so the sustain is either fully on or off. Yamaha's FC3A is the pedal designed for half-pedalling on instruments that support it.
Will the FC4A work with my keyboard or digital piano?
Yamaha designed the FC4A for digital pianos, keyboards, synthesizers and stage pianos with a sustain or foot switch jack, and it connects with a standard 1/4-inch plug. If you are unsure about your instrument, share the model with our team and we will check it for you.
Can I use the FC4A for functions other than sustain?
Yes, on instruments that offer assignable foot switch functions. The FC4A can then trigger the function or setting you assign to the foot switch on that instrument.
