Elevate your piano experience with our premium 3-Pedal Piano Pedal Extender — crafted for serious pianists, instructors, and piano institutions where the height of the player makes standard pedal reach challenging. This extender features a robust ABS platform, precisely engineered toggles for height adjustment, and three full-sized solid brass pedals that replicate the look, feel, and responsiveness of a professional piano’s pedals. Available in a high-polish black or brown walnut finish.

Designed to fit all upright and grand pianos, our extender ensures that your pedal technique remains uncompromised, letting you play with full expression, regardless of your posture or seating height. Ideal for players who need additional height, children, and piano teachers.

Key features:

• Width: 15″ (38 cm) — accommodates standard full-width pianos.

• Depth: 14″ (35.5 cm) — ensures stable footing and proper pedal alignment.

• Height Adjustment Range: From approx. 5.5″ to 8.5″ (14 cm to 21.6 cm) off the floor, via dual side knobs for secure lock-in.

• Platform Construction: Solid ABS top with steel structural support underneath — engineered for long-term stability, no warping, no wobble.

• Pedals: Polished solid brass — not plastic-coated or hollow imitation. Feels durable under your foot.

• Finish & Fit: High polish black finish.

• Weight: Approximately 12 lb (5.4 kg) — heavy enough to stay in place during playing, yet still manageable for repositioning.

Whether you need the extra height, are using a tall adjustable bench, or need your students to reach comfortably, this extender ensures full pedal access while preserving your piano’s aesthetics and performance. 

2-Pedal vs. 3-Pedal — Which Do You Need?

Most students and everyday players primarily use the right sustain pedal, and occasionally the left soft pedal, which is why 2-pedal extenders are a great fit for the majority of pianists.
The 3-pedal extender simply adds the center sostenuto pedal — which is used less frequently in modern repertoire. The main benefit of the 3-pedal design is that it keeps the natural spacing and foot positioning exactly like a full piano, which some teachers and advancing players prefer for developing consistent technique.

So if you want a practical solution for general playing, the 2-pedal model is often the right choice. If you want to match the full pedal layout for long-term training or formal study, the 3-pedal model provides that option.
