The sustain pedal that came with it is crap. It was small and plastic and would slide all over the carpet when I tried to use it, assuming it would even work to begin with. I had no idea until a few days ago that I could buy a new sustain pedal instead of wrestling with the old one, it just didn't occur to me. So I found a new one. I got an M-Audio SP-2, which is a heavyweight pedal that operates just like a standard pedal on a normal piano:
I also purchased a pair of Behringer headphones intended for studio use (I never play the piano without headphones, I often play late at night before I go to bed) and a dust cover. So here is my beautiful piano and all its accessories (all of my music is in the black binders to the left):
I have been playing the piano for a long time--since I was 8 years old, and I have always played on regular pianos, so it was an adjustment when I first started playing on my digital one, but it's the only one I really can have with my frequent moving over the past few years. Now though, with my new sustain pedal and headphones, I literally don't notice any difference between my piano and a regular one. And I didn't have to pay big bucks to tune it first.
