Is it worth buying the KORG branded damper pedal DS1H? Seems to be a bit more than a generic or even a Yamaha. _________________ Marcus

If you want to use half-pedaling technique with the Kronos stock grand pianos, that's the pedal you need. Hence the H in DS-1H. _________________ My Kronos 7 |

I have the DS-1H pedal. It is reasonably good but overpriced. A lightly used one would be ideal. |

The Roland DP-10 is a good alternative pedal. |

I went through a couple of DS-1H. They never lasted more than a year. I use them a lot and they did not work very long.
I then bought a WTB-005 sustain pedal for AUS$30 and they worked much longer and are just fine.
Korg DS-1H is totally overprized. |

My DS-1H is 9 yrs old, going strong.
Home studio person here. So its not subjected to the rigors of gigs, moving around, etc. _________________ Kronos 88. MODX8
