PX-730 Broken pedal assembly

[Arturo C.]

Hello everyone, 

I own a PX-730 digital piano whose sustain pedal suffered irreparable damage. I have taken the assembly off the support and found that the plastic frame which supports the pedal hinge broke off. 

 

Therefore it will be necessary to replace the whole assembly. However the part (Casio part no. 91087002040) is listed as "discontinued", therefore I am having trouble finding a replacement. 

 

I saw several pedal sets for sale on eBay (Casio SP33) which look similar to the one I have on my piano, and I'm wondering whether it could be possible to remove the pedal assembly from the SP33 and fit it in my piano, and if it will work. 

 

Has anyone had the same problem?

 

Thanks to everyone in advance for your help. 

Arturo.

I have the same issue: broken pedal unit on my PX-730 and was told it has been discontinued.  Is there a solution other than buying a whole new piano?

I have found a video on YouTube about a rather simple and ingenuous way to fix it.

Thanks for the video.  I will try a similar repair if I can't get a new pedal, but it is frustrating that Casio does not have a pedal I could purchase.  Most pianos have a regular jack input for a universal pedal but not the PX-730.

Casio (and any other  maker) stands to profit more by forcing you to buy a new piano rather than helping you fix your current one. You should inquire whether there are craftsmen in your area who are able and willing to repair your pedal assembly for a fair price.
