Donner DDP-80 Digital Piano [Product Review]

I think this is a great choice for people who want a simple, easy to set up, easy to operate, digital piano for in-home use! Note that there are NO options to change the sound. You can only turn it on and adjust the volume. Also, the keys have a slightly heavier touch compared to other digital pianos I have played. It looks elegant and the speakers are located on the bottom, which gives the sound a chance to bounce off of the room before getting to your ears. Enjoy!

I have watched many many reviews of this piano. All of them (except one) were paid promotions where Donner provided the piano for free. The reviewers may say they give an unbiased review but when push comes to shove it's not wise to bite the hand that feeds. The one independent review I read was scathing on this pianos key action and tone. If you can't test it out in store for yourself that is a big red flag on the ability to judge the quality and tone for your ear and style......

Thanks Valerie!

Дорогой Артур, очень сложно без перевода, но я всё понимаю, язык музыки всё говорит, привет вам из Москвы!У вас руки настоящего пианиста, у моего учителя руки и пальцы были такие же как у вас. Как говорил мой учитель пальцы для пианиста это 50% успеха,остальное это большая работа. И как всегда это артистизм, а у вас есть всё! Красивые руки, прекрасный голос, пальцы, большой труд и ваша доброта! Спасибо вам ,что вы нас учите как правильно играть на фортепиано буги вуги и видеть мир прекрасным!

[@thearthurmigliazza]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@Invertedworldx]

Not going to lie the iphone mic really gives a great sound perspective

[@harigeorgeson5885]

Not many frills, as you said, but the sound was quite good even through the iPhone. But then again you could make a keyboard from Radio Shack sound stellar.

[@thearthurmigliazza]

Haha thank you 🙏

[@cosiogalko]

A simple, accessible volume knob would have made all the difference for the unit. Hope they fix this on upcoming models. Nice post. Thanks

[@thearthurmigliazza]

I agree, it is strange that it's located on the back of the unit! We'll see if they change anything on upcoming models.

[@TheCrusaderRabbits]

Seems like a fine thing to learn on.

[@tuttiquanti]

Excellent review ! really ! I get all the answers in a short video :)

[@6thwatergateplumber]

I am so bummed with this! I want this, I really do, but for God's sake allow some reverb, and maybe 5 sounds. Something. I don't know, it's just right, except for the lack of some sounds. Maybe I misunderstand MIDI, but you could run the board through your computer, and tie the DAW sounds in your computer to the keyboard? And play those through monitor speakers maybe?

[@thearthurmigliazza]

Yeah I know right? Very limited in options here. But I guess that’s what they were going for. I don’t know if you could run midi out and then audio back into the keyboard to play through the internal speakers. It seems unlikely to me but.. ? For sure you could run midi out and then use headphones or speakers from your computer.

[@Alejandro_Graciano_Music]

Can I change the tuning frequency on this piano?

[@anf669]

Hello from 🇨🇦 You’re a great pianist ! I see that this is a sponsored video- I am beginner-intermediate level ( I play by ear and cannot read music for the life of me so I’m slow and self taught) and have just been using a cheap Alesis which sounds horrible the more I play. I like this one aesthetically, but wonder if you have a different recommendation for a keyboard that’s as close to sounds like a piano as possible ? Idk if that’s even possible but my place is too small for a real one 😢 so far it seems this is the best option but if you have any other recommendations, I’d love to hear them !

[@thearthurmigliazza]

Thank you! Best advice I can give is to go to a music store and play many different options until you can find one you like. The Donner definitely is not a bad choice, but you may find others that feel better or sound better to you. To me, the way that the action matches the sound is very important, but that is a subjective experience so it's best of you find one that is agreeable to your ear and fingers :-) good luck!

[@justdeepblue]

This is the one I want!

[@user-te9qd2mm4o]

Ваш инструмент, звучит прекрасно! А в ваших руках, великолепно!!!

[@serenamonster]

Hi Arthur - thank you for your review. My daughter is 4 and just started lessons and I was considering Donner as a mid level piano. There are some mixed reviews from pianist but I’m hoping this piano will give us a few years. If you have any other recommendations for little ones starting off, please share. I’m drawn to the look, simplicity and the fact that there’s not much to dust!

[@gb26011]

What’s the difference between this and the donner ddp-90 other than looks?

[@TheJohnnyBE]

Sounds great!

[@thearthurmigliazza]

Thanks Johnny!

[@gaussbaobao]

I got my donner DDP 80, however when I plug in the headphone, the sound still come out of the piano, but lighter, is that normal?

[@thearthurmigliazza]

hmm, no that doesn't sound like a normal response. Always double check the headphone jack is pushed in all the way. With all keyboards, usually the speakers will be either on or off when headphones plugged in, not diminished in volume.

[@anthonyruda2021]

Can you plug it into an external amp?

[@thearthurmigliazza]

Yes. Either run a line out from the “out” jack or headphone jack. Both are 1/4 inch

[@LUDIBOMB6]

Half damper pedal ?

[@ltbrooklynny]

It sounds quite metallic...

[@itisi8498]

Is it possible to screw in the legs so they face inwards..not extend beyond the length of the keyboard? I’m just pressed for space

[@thearthurmigliazza]

that's an interesting idea! I think you probably could do it. Each leg has a square end with 4 screw holes in it. I don't see why each leg couldn't just be rotated 180 degrees to face inward. You could also get just any old keyboard stand that you like and put the keyboard on it without using the legs that come with it.

[@joelonsdale]

No. It wouldn't stand up safely.

[@magnolialeaf8705]

Nice balls!

[@evag.m.1013]

It's too high. Can't it be adjusted?

[@thearthurmigliazza]

No. You would need to get an adjustable bench.

[@antoniov941]

can't you play around with different sounds by simply using a midi cable to plug into a pc?

[@thearthurmigliazza]

Yes absolutely!

[@FurtiveSkeptical]

USB midi only unfortunately, but yes you could play software VST's on PC but not 5 pin MIDI into another keyboard.😕

[@maryannplunkett5420]

What headphones would you recommend to use for this piano?

[@thearthurmigliazza]

Whatever you have at home should be fine. I like the Yamaha HPH -200p headphones because they let you hear the room transparently too.
