We have a friend with this Casio. The sustain pedal got lost. We tried to plug in a Yamaha sustain pedal and it did not work. Is there a difference in the way sustain is activated? Is it more than just a switch closure?
Thanks in advance.

John, I'm pretty sure the Yamaha sustain pedals work in reverse ( Normally Open, or Normally Closed, but don't recall which way the Yamaha is configured ), compared to all the other manufacturers. Too late tonight to look things up to be sure, but I think that will be your answer.

If the pedal you have is reversed, then it would sustain all the time until you pressed it, then stop sustaining.
Newer pedals have switched to rubber contacts and the resistance can vary quite a bit between models. In other words, they never hit zero resistance when closed. It's possible to have a pedal work on one piano and not another due to the closed resistance being too great. This can be measured with a meter and usually can be improved by cleaning the contacts.

Most modern sustain pedals have a polarity switch making them universal. I believe that Yamaha and Roland keyboards requires a pedal that is normally closed while Casio, Korg, and Kurzweil require normally open.
