Best sustain pedal to buy? (Preferably one that won't slip)

[Harvey Twyman]

If you take a sustain pedal as circled in the picture above and turned it 90 degrees it won't slip. Don't ask me why, but it works.

I use my foot pedal on carpet but it still "walked". I took it's rubber feet off and stuck strips of double-sided Velcro Hooks. The hooks do a reasonable job on carpet but would be useless on any other floor surface.

A sustain pedal for a keyboard, preferable one equipped with something to stop it from slipping. What do you recommend and how can I get it?

I have a roland stand and I bungee the pedal around the foot of the stand. I just leave it there all the time.

Forget bungees, carpets, velcro, duct tape.

By far the cheapest and most effective solution is this.

Grip Mat, mine cost £2 off Amazon and I have used it for years.

Great idea if you're sitting. I stand and jump around quite a bit. Bungee for me!

I cut a small piece of non-slip from under one of our throw rugs and it works well to keep the sustain pedal from sliding across the carpet. I have not tried it on hardwood or other smooth floor, but I think it will work and it is very easy and inexpensive to try out.
