Talk:Sustain pedal

MIDI pedal
Many MIDI controllers have a sustain input realized as a 6.3 mm (1/4") stereo jack. The same goes with expression input. Is there a standard regarding this? --Abdull 14:17, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Another notation...
There is also a notation with a "Ped." symbol and a notch or nose to indicate when the pedal is to be lifted. If one of you guys has Sibelius, he may browse thru the symbols list. -andy 85.176.226.145 (talk) 19:34, 16 September 2008 (UTC) But what is the usual notation to apply the sostenuto (middle) pedal rather than the sustain pedal?˜˜˜˜ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.166.1.117 (talk) 05:28, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

How it works
I was just wondering if anyone could make an addition as to how a sustain pedal actually works inside a piano? There are many websites explaining how but I don't really feel I have the full technical understanding nor the ability to concisely and accurately explain the mechanism. It seems like it would be a good addition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Buddhastic (talk • contribs)

Guitar pedal
Such pedals can be an addition to electric guitars...When I came to this page that was half what i was expecting. is there a different page for this? if so, relevant links ought to be added. --freshmaniac (talk) 09:45, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Alternate sustain pedal
I have an old spinet that has a middle pedal that sustains only the lower notes (from D below middle C and below.) Is there a particular name for this? Should such pedal variations be addressed in this article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.7.116.177 (talk) 05:51, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
