Sustain pedal wiring

by Guy Williams
(Tavistock, Devon, England)

Hi, I am trying to repair a CLP-411, the sustain pedal wiring got ripped out from under the pedals and I don't know which colour wire goes where. I want to be certain I am connecting the wires correctly!


There is a plug and lead that is connected under the piano leading down to the sustain pedals, the final connection to the pedals is very badly designed and prone to damage in my opinion so I will be modifying it.

If someone has a 411 or 511 would they mind having a look underneath the pedals to find out the order of colours and let me know?

There are 6 wires and the pins underneath start with number 1 being on the left working on to 6 on the right.

Wire colours:

Black
Red
Yellow
Green
Blue
White

Many thanks
Guy

I need a replacement pedal cable for a CLP-411 that is in a nursing home. I tried to look it up on Yahama;s parts website, but the site says "No such model exists." I looked on amazon, ebay, eyc, but to no avail. Any ideas?

Hey they are actually numbered!! Had a real close look and you can see the rows. So they are numbered as mentioned before as 1 - red, 2 - Yellow 3 - green 4 - Blue - 5 White 6 black (on the bottom straight connection.
This corresponds with the 2 rows going into the keyboard as follows:
Top left (with the tag facing downwards) Red (1) - Yellow (2) - green (3)
Bottom left: Blue (4) - White (5) - Black (6)
Took me a year to work this out so though I should share it!!!

I had the same problem but my plug to the keyboard has six slots, but they are stacked in two rows of three columns each. Any color guides for this?

Thanks!

Dear Guy: You probably know the unit in question was released by Yamaha in 1996.
In an effort to be helpful, I made a fairly quick but deep sweep of the Internet to no avail. You might get lucky and have a response by some other kind Forum member who owns a 411/511. In the meantime, the thought has occurred to me that you might use your charm" and befriend a technician/individual at the address I cite below. It may be ?uncomfortable? to say what you are doing, and perhaps honesty would be the best policy here?
The following is the address of an authorized Yamaha technical service organization, and as I said ?you might get lucky?. I sincerely hope so..............
