Donner DEP-20 Beginner Digital Piano 88 Key Full Size Weighted Keyboard, Portable Electric Piano with Sustain Pedal, Power Supply

Amazing digital piano for it's price. Ive had it for over a year now and its still going strong. The amount of features built into a piano like this rivals those of Yamaha and other notable brands. Definitely worth it. From the weighted keys, to its built in custom sounds, this piano is almost perfect. Just a couple things to note, to use a specific sound (like an electric organ), you must scroll through tens or even hundreds of them just to find it. I wish there was a number pad we could use as a short cut. Another thing is that this piano is not very small and not very light either compared to its competitors. This piano is definitely worth your money

I purchased the Donner DEP- 20 after watching several in depth reviews on youtube. I especially enjoyed the detailed reviews by James Pavel and Jeremy See. After doing a lot of research I pulled the trigger on this instrument. For MY NEEDS, this is a 5 star instrument, your needs and mileage may be different. I’ve been playing music for more than twenty years on several different instruments, guitar, drums, bass, keyboards, and I primarily write symphonic black metal. I have a yamaha 76 key, spring action keyboard that I wanted to replace with a full 88 key setup. To me, the main selling point of the Donner Dep-20 was the fully weighted, graded, hammer action keys…which is impossible to find elsewhere at a price tag of around $350. This digital piano is NOT perfect, but I do give it 5 stars, because it suits MY needs. Looking at other video reviews, I noticed the sound quality of the samples were on par with standard midi. It does have 200+ different instruments, similar to midi quality. Once again, for my needs, thats not a big deal. I run the keyboard through USB MIDI into FLStudio, and play through sample libraries. So it sounds exactly like a piano (or whatever instrument I want.) No digital piano under $700-1,000 is going to have amazing quality piano sounds, it’s one of the limitations of hardware to price ratios. I already had a powerful computer, and several sample libraries (I use the Noire Piano), and I bought this piano just for the quality of the key actions. The main selling point of this digital piano is the 88 fully weighted, graded, hammer actions keys. It doesn’t feel quite like a real acoustic piano, but it’s SIMILAR, for someone who is not a professional concert pianist. The key action is heavy like an acoustic piano, which I really enjoy. It’s very difficult to ACCIDENTALLY depress an a key. But the heavy key action affords you a lot of velocity control to really bring life to your music, just like an acoustic piano. You simply can’t get that with spring action keys on a keyboard. The piano itself has great volume control, it can go unnecessarily loud, if you choose. I play with headphones a lot, sounds great. The build quality is decent, it’s thick, rigid plastic. Like any digital instrument, you should be careful, if you knocked it over I’m not sure what would happen to the electronics inside, but that’s not the fault of the manufacturer, that’s user error. If you want a really in depth review, I highly, HIGHLY recommend looking for James Pavel on youtube. (Type “james pavel donner dep 20 review) he’s got a review of the piano itself, and another review comparing this product to several other digital pianos in the “under $500 range”. I’m more than a beginner (but not a professional), having played music for more than 20 years, this piano has everything I need, and nothing I don’t. As I said at the start, your needs and mileage may vary, but this digital piano delivers on every promise that was made by the manufacturer. Also like I said, if you already have a computer with a usb port, hook it up to a sample library and this instrument can easily compete with $1,000+ instruments. I purchased this for the cheapest, fully functional, fully weighted, graded, hammer action digital piano on the market. I am extremely satisfied, the key action is great, the standard velocity curve is great. 5 stars.

This is one of the best beginner pianos out there at this price point. It feels great and sounds great. I love it.

This is a really nice electric piano that in most ways has exceeded my expectations in the few days that I have used it. It sounds great and everything I have tried has worked as expected. The weighted keys seem good and so does the grand piano sound- the rest I have not really used. The included sustain pedal works well too.I have two reasons for a 4 instead of 5 rating. First, as others have mentioned the keyboard sits a bit high in the front and even with the stand I purchased at it's lowest, it sits too high for me to comfortably play. I have a regular piano bench that was used with an acoustic piano, but I am going to need one that I can adjust to make this work better. The second reason is documentation. All the names of the demos were in Chinese, no problem except that there was nothing included on how to change that to English nor could I find this info on the Donner website. We eventually figured it out, but I think including that in the instructions would have been helpful. Overall though this is great and I am happy with my purchase.

First off I am no digital piano expert, just a beginner at learning the piano but compared to my last keyboard this digital piano is amazing. The sound is rich and realistic to the piano my teacher has. It comes with sustain pedal and a place to put your sheets. The max volume is very loud. Only thing I noticed is when the sustain pedal is in use after there's like a vibration that stays for a while. Now I will say that I am not familiar with sustain pedals so maybe that's why that is happening, I cannot blame the product it self. I really am not sure what is going on with that. The keyboard is quite thick however I like that , since I want it to be most similar to a real piano and I do not plan on moving it around. It's a bit heavy, maybe two people is better than one for moving it. Personally I am so glad I bought this. For $300 you will not regret it.

Que dire de ce superbe instrument que j'ai mis du temps à commenter, certes, à cause d'un dos fracassé. On retrouve cette fois un vrai toucher lourd, comme on les aime, mais qui reste toutefois règlable. Je ne connaissais pas cette marque. L'ergonomie est si bien faite et simple qu'il n'est pas besoin d'ouvrir son mode d'emploi tant on a tout sous les yeux, et d'une façon naturelle, intuituitive, logique. La qualité du son, et des sons est exceptionnelle. Pour le son piano, je parviens même à y retrouver une touche un peu boisée des pianos accoustiques. C'est un aussi excelent instrument pour débuter qu'en niveau confirmé, voire plus.

Ce piano est parfait et complement conforme à mes attentes. Nous l'avons réçu très rapidement et il présente des performences très sympa et intéressantes; totalement au-delà de mes éspérances, pour l'apprentissage de mon fils. Je le conseille vivement à tous, un excellent rapport qualité prix 🏆 Jean-Luc

Ich wollte schon seit einiger zeit anfangen Piano zu spielen, doch wollte ich nicht so viel Geld ausgeben. Nun habe ich mir das Donner DEP-20 gekauft und bin begeistert, das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist top. Die Lieferung war schnell und es gab es keine Komplikationen. Nachdem ich es ausgepackt hatte habe ich direkt bemerkt, dass es stabil/robust gebaut ist und auch auf seinen eigenen Füßen einen guten Halt hat. Mit dem Keyboard zusammen kam ein Pedal das sich einfach anschließen lies und sich gut anfühlte außerdem ein Notenblatthalter der einfach zu montieren war und fest sitzt. Das Design ist einfach und schlicht gewählt und sieht einfach schick aus. Was mich auch überrascht hat ist die Möglichkeit an Anschlüssen, man kann mit USB jeden Laptop/Computer verbinden und einfach nutzen, genauso mit USB Sticks. Die Tasten dieses E-Pianos sind einfach genial die voll Gewichtung fühlt sich authentisch an und man möchte gar nicht aufhören zu spielen. Das was mir mit Abstand am besten an diesem E-Piano gefällt ist, dass sich das Piano richtig gut anhört es ist ein klarer und schöner Sound. Alles in allem: Kann ich dieses E-Piano einfach nur Empfehlen, es ist perfekt für Anfänger außerdem gut gebaut und hört sich super an es gibt schlichtweg keine Beschwerden.

This really is a great piano for beginners. The weighted keys feel very similar to a real piano, so while practicing if you ever get the chance to play on a real piano you won't feel much difference at all. The piano isn't super heavy, so you can take it anywhere, and the onboard speakers I would call "good enough". The sound isn't super amazing, but for the value you're getting a really excellent machine. If you want high quality sound, you can plug this piano into your computer, fire up your favorite DAW, and load in a Steinway piano in a grand hall and have lots of fun(the piano is smart enough to recognize when it's connected to a DAW and will only play audio through it instead of the onboard speakers). Moreover, the support I received was excellent. One of the keys on my keyboard started acting funny(the velocity was broken, no matter how soft you hit the key it would register as a very hard strike). I looked online and saw this was fairly common, you just had to remove the keys and clean the sensor board. I didn't know how to do it for this specific model, so when I messaged Donner they not only sent directions but an actual video of how to remove the keys and clean it! They were helpful every time I contacted them, and we were able to reach an amicable solution regarding my specific problem. Couldn't suggest this piano any more for beginners. It's great value for the money, and the company behind it offers great support!

This is really the next best thing to the reality of playing an actual piano and it has a lot of functions that make it worth the trade for the slight difference in keyboard. Both myself and my husband love the sound and feel of a real piano. Unfortunately we don’t have the space and for recording, a keyboard of this caliber is really necessary. The difference in playing is very slight, you have to have an excellent ear to even catch the slight delay between playing the note and the sound and if you aren’t the one playing, you can’t tell at all no matter how good your ear is. The sound on the keyboard is beautiful 💕 it has good sound on it’s own and it can be hooked up to speakers to fill an auditorium of any size or to headphones so it can be played while my husband is in a zoom meeting! It can also be programmed to have multiple tones and even to have single keys play different chords! It can make a simple piece of melody turn into a symphony with the right adjustments! It also can be made to play as different instruments, many keyboards do this, what I like about this keyboard is that you can program it so only half or only certain areas or keys play as different instruments! This makes it insanely versatile and gives nearly unlimited creativity to someone who wants to enhance a piece of music or compose their own music. It’s easy to record of off, their are multiple methods to plug into the keyboard with from cords, USB, thumb drives, MP3 players etc There were two surprises when it came in, I kind of thought it came with the bag it was shown with in many of the pictures. It doesn’t come with that. I DID think I would have to buy the sustaining pedal, it costs over $200 to buy, I was delighted to find that it was included!! It works great and I thought I would have to buy it later. The keyboard is a large machine and I’m not sure how portable I would consider it to be. Definitely get it and measure it before buying a bag or case to make sure it will fit as I was surprised by how ‘deep’ it was. It doesn’t take up a lot of room, except that it is a full 88 keys and that’s going to be fairly long. It has good speakers and a lot of components. It’s definitely a worthy piece of equipment and sturdy. It’s not extremely heavy, but it’s not light either. It’s very much worth it for the sound you get and everything else.
