Buying for keyboards and pianos starts with one crucial question: do you need an instrument to play, or an accessory to expand the keyboard you already own? The Kawasaki Audio Pro 37 and M-Audio SP-2 address those very different needs. The Kawasaki is a 37-key electronic keyboard, while the M-Audio is a sustain/damper pedal for electronic keyboards. Their listed prices are separated by $59.28, reflecting that difference in role.
Quick verdict
Choose the NEW Kawasaki Audio Pro 37 Electronic Keyboard Record & Play Your Own Music Vtg if you want a beginner-level electronic keyboard with 37 keys, synth action, built-in effects, a speaker, and a battery-powered option. At USD 74.25, it is the choice for someone starting with an actual keyboard instrument.
Choose the Electronic Keyboard Piano Sustain Pedal M-Audio SP-2 Universal Professional if you already play an electronic keyboard and want a dedicated sustain/damper pedal. At USD 14.97, it focuses on keyboard control rather than supplying keys, sounds, or onboard playback.

Where each one wins
Kawasaki Audio Pro 37 wins when the goal is to begin playing keys. Its 37-key layout puts a playable instrument, speaker, built-in effects, and recording-and-playback focus into one multicolor keyboard. The beginner experience-level designation also makes its intended use clear: it is geared toward exploring electronic keyboard playing rather than adding a single control to an existing setup.
M-Audio SP-2 wins when the keyboard is already covered. The M-Audio SP2 is identified as a universal-compatible sustain/damper pedal for electronic keyboards, and its anti-skid feature speaks directly to keeping the pedal planted during use. It is a focused addition for players who want pedal-based sustain control without changing their keyboard.
Product notes
NEW Kawasaki Audio Pro 37 Electronic Keyboard Record & Play Your Own Music Vtg
The Kawasaki Audio Pro 37 is the stronger match for a first keyboard purchase because it combines a 37-key electronic keyboard format with synth action, a speaker, built-in effects, and a battery-powered option. The Record & Play emphasis gives it a music-making angle beyond simply pressing keys, while the beginner-level designation helps position it for early exploration. Its multicolor appearance also gives it a distinctly playful presentation. The trade-off is the 37-key format: that compact key count is best suited to a simpler, beginner-oriented keyboard experience rather than shoppers specifically seeking a larger key layout. It is listed as new, though the packaging is described as having wear and stains from storage.
Electronic Keyboard Piano Sustain Pedal M-Audio SP-2 Universal Professional
The M-Audio SP-2 makes the most sense when sustain is the missing piece of an existing electronic keyboard setup. It is a black sustain/damper pedal with universal brand compatibility and an anti-skid feature, making its purpose direct and focused. Rather than adding sounds, speakers, or keys, it adds a familiar foot-pedal control for playing. That narrower role is its main limitation: it is an accessory for an electronic keyboard, not an electronic keyboard itself. Condition also matters here, since it is listed as used and the foot pedal is described as having slight pitting. For a player who specifically needs a pedal, those details are more relevant than the Kawasaki's extra keyboard features.
Final choice by use case
Pick the Kawasaki Audio Pro 37 for a beginner-oriented, 37-key electronic keyboard with onboard speaker, effects, battery-powered operation, and recording-and-playback capability.
Pick the M-Audio SP-2 for universal-compatible sustain/damper pedal control on an electronic keyboard. The deciding factor is not which one has more features; it is whether your setup needs playable keys or a pedal to accompany the keys you already use.
