Thank you, guys. I also don't have much experience with common drawbar settings beyond a couple of well-known ones. There is a lot of good advice here!

I found this site a year ago, and it's been really helpful. I bought two keyboards without playing them in advance largely based on comments here, plus I've gotten a lot of other great advice just reading the posts. I'd definitely miss this site if it went away. The tip jar concept works for me. Just one question - on the banner, it has two links for payment, annual and monthly. Is there a way to make a one-time contribution? Just keeping with the tip jar idea. Thanks.

Sincere thank you to the regular posters on the board. I've been reading posts for the past six months, and bought two keyboards based mainly on comments here. I got a YC73 last week, and I'm very happy with it. One nagging issue though - the pianos sustain a long time. Previously I was using a Casio PX, and could just hold the sustain pedal down, and the sound would decay naturally. The YC pianos generally sustain 10+ seconds (the CFX over 15 sec), so that it quickly gets a bit muddy. Of course I can regularly take my foot off the FC3A pedal, or just press it slightly (but the sweet spot seems very narrow). I'd prefer another solution if possible - maybe there's a setting that I'm missing, or a different pedal to use. I'd be interested in feedback here. Do you think Yamaha pianos sustain too long? If so, do you have any advice on a setting or another pedal, etc? Thanks.
