Turning SUSTAIN on or off or making it work correctly with pedal

FOr some reason, the sustain is ON and when I hit my sustain pedal it goes OFF....backwards to what it should be. Same sustain pedal I have had. I have unplugged and replugged the sustain pedal...no difference. Sustain stays on even with the pedal unplugged. How do I fix it so sustain is on with my pedal down????HELP. Thank you so much..............Carol Barham

Sustain Pedal
by: Alfred

Dear Carol: First check if there is a small switch on the Pedal which must be flipped or turned to the correct position. If there is no switch, do this:
Plug the Pedal into the keyboard/piano BEFORE you turn the latter On. DO NOT PUSH DOWN ON THE PEDAL
until your music demands it.
Now that you have reached this Forum, feel free to come back again, and do us the favor of posting a followup message confirming the above procedure works. Thanks. Keep well.

Hi,

Follow Alfreds advice first but if that doesn't help you have to look under 'function' (you did not mention your keyboard-model)and 'sustain polarity'.
It is possible that it has been changed by accident doing something else and that gives you the reverse action on the pedal.
Usually just a push on a button will solve your problem.

Regards
Dick
