Piano accessories help set up a comfortable place to play, and sometimes you simply can't do without them. This section covers accessories such as the sustain pedal, a cover, a footrest, and a music stand. Pianos usually come with a very basic pedal, nicknamed the "frog." Unfortunately, it doesn't do its job properly: it's awkward to use, keeps sliding because it's so light, and works more like a switch than a pedal. A footrest is meant for children whose feet don't reach the floor. It's a very important item that teachers regularly ask about. Surprisingly, the quality of a child's playing depends on this footrest. The strength of the hands' touch appears only when there's support from the feet. A cover protects the piano from dust, and an extra music stand can be used to hold a laptop. So what look like small details actually serve many important functions.

Music stand and footrest

Footrests are used by children who, even sitting on the bench with correct posture at the instrument, still can't reach the floor. The footrest's design matters, so the set, together with the stand and the instrument itself, looks complete. Together with a piano bench, it sets up a comfortable playing position.

A footrest helps so that:

The child's feet don't dangle and have something to rest on.
The child can press the keys more firmly and get a better sound.
The height can be lowered over the years, so the child stays comfortable and the knees don't press against the piano.

A music stand is used by pianists whenever the built-in stand isn't enough. That might be for large scores, or to turn the pages for someone else, not just the pianist. Lately, electronic sheet music has become more common, and not everyone has a separate tablet for it, so people use regular laptops instead. A music stand with a solid top can be set horizontally, so a laptop can be placed on it. Simple and convenient. See the wider range in standalone music stands.

Sustain pedal and pedal extender

The sustain pedal is needed to smooth out the sound, blend notes together, and add richness to the tone. The sound comes out fuller and doesn't cut off the moment a key is released. A pedal isn't an option for a pianist, it's a necessity. A universal pedal fits most keyboards and pianos, meaning it's well compatible with the instrument.

What makes it universal:

A non-slip coating.
A polarity switch.

One handy extra is the pedal extender, you could even call it a "riser." It's needed for children who can't reach the pedals yet but are already playing pieces where the pedal comes into play. For teachers, this can be a nice bonus, since students can already play more advanced pieces and sound more mature. The extender is universal, its height is adjustable, and it attaches to the pedal or the pedal block connected to the piano. The extender itself doesn't need to be plugged in.

Cover and case for protecting the instrument

At home we use a cover to protect the instrument, and for transport, a case with handles or shoulder straps. A cover protects against:

Dust.
Pet hair.
Accidental spills.
Crumbs.

A case, in turn, should protect the instrument from light knocks in transit or out on the street. A cover should come on and off quickly and easily, otherwise it just won't get used. That's why it helps to have a cutout for the music stand, which makes using the cover simpler. Since a piano is stationary and attracts dust, it needs to be wiped down often and thoroughly. So it's better to keep the instrument protected. If your piano or keyboard stands on an instrument stand, covering it is even easier.

How to choose accessories for your instrument

Work out who's playing: a child needs a footrest and possibly an adjustable-height pedal.
Check the connector for the pedal and headphones (6.3 mm jack or an adapter), and see whether a grand-style sustain pedal is available.
Decide whether the instrument stays in place or gets moved around: a cover is enough for the former, a case is needed for the latter.
Determine the instrument type and number of keys (61 or 88), since this determines the case model.

You can put together accessories one by one, or choose a ready-made bundle.
