I am in love with my new keyboard. I waited almost a year to find a PERFECT gift from my family for my 30th birthday. I finally found this beautiful keyboard with weighted keys. It arrived in 4 days and I have been playing almost non-stop since then! I am not a professional player but a relatively advanced amateur. I am very pleased with the sound, the feel of the keys and with the aesthetics. If I had one complain is that the sustain pedal seems a bit off, it works but not as noticeable as with...

I started learning the piano back in the early 1980s at the age of 8 and by the time I was 24 had reached Grade 7. I hadn’t touched a piano in 25 years due to having no room in the house and wanted to take it up again. I was nervous to start with that the Donner DDP-80 would have the feel of a real piano but having now played it I need not have worried. The feel is exactly as I remember my old acoustic piano used to be. I may be incredibly rusty but I really am loving re visiting the pie...

The Arena 2000 is a very good value offering a lot of presets, excellent input/output options, and a good build quality. The manual is helpful to get going quickly, but the phone app is a real plus for making faster edits. The presets provide a great overview of all the different effects, amp, and cab simulations, but, as others have pointed out, the real value is when you get inside the presets and customize them for your own personal use. I'm having fun with it. So far I've used it to plug...

See video for sound demo! I like to keep the stickers and pick guard plastic for a few months before removing them.(personal preference) Also, please forgive hearing the sound of the strings. I don’t like when it gets picked up by the mic, but I couldn’t play as loud as I wanted to at the time. The first thing you’ll notice about this guitar is that it’s gorgeous. I love the cherry color/trim combo. My pictures don’t do it justice, neither do the advertised pics in my opinion. It’s beautiful i...

these are a really great set of earphones, especially since they have noise cancellation and transparent mode. they work pretty well especially for being more than half of what beats or apple costs. the case is a nice small size and has led indicators and so do the earphones. switching b/w modes is not that hard to discern but the app makes it super easy. its really nice that the app shows battery life as well. i also like that you can use just one earphone if you want to which most cheap sets d...

Wow, this is what dreams are made of!!! This is exactly what I would have wanted as a child and honestly my seven year old daughter is living her best life! She is set to start lessons next week and this really got her hyped up. The only downside is, I wish this was in a hard case - as we all know children and adults can drop things and a soft case is just asking for damage! I am also having issues with the D string staying tuned - I am not sure why though as everything seems to be in place an...

It is very impressive how much quality and versatility this guitar offers at this $200 price point. The gig bag is not heavily padded but it seems strong and comfortable to carry around with nicely padded handles and shoulder straps. It came very nicely packaged along with all the accessories advertised. The action is relatively low and the neck is mid-size with a C shape carve. The fret ends are pretty sharp so I would not call these rolled edges but it is easy to fix these with some extra fin...

This isn't a high end guitar, but it is a decent quality. I'm not a professional musician, but I am a sound man. So while I cant play this very good, listening to it it has decent sound. It does have a little bit of a buzz on the higher strings, but its a simple guitar to learn on and experiment with. It comes with a rechargeable battery-powered amp, a spare set of strings, a capo, some picks, a cheap tuner, and soft-sided backpack style case. There was a protective film on the guitar that was a...

The first guitar I ever had was an acoustic one (for less than month) more than 40 years ago! Eventually, I learned just a few minor chords later in life, but never enough to be a proficient guitar player. I used to play keyboards and an organ my father used to have when in the military during my summer visits. I have always admired those "trio" guitar players and could only dream of ever playing like that (never pursued my dream though), mainly because most of my life my mother struggled to rai...

The piano sounds and feels amazing. You can definitely tell the difference with the weighted keys versus your traditional lower cost electric keyboard; which this replaced. It has a premium feel and is full featured with multiple settings, sounds and instruments. . It was easy to put together. You have 5 pieces to the stand that are affixed via screws and a couple of bolts, the keyboard, itself is connected via bolts with knobs on them, so you can easily detach and reattach the keyboard to the ...

Donner seems to set the bar higher with every product I encounter of theirs. It seems like a company by musicians for musicians. Each product is feature filled, cost friendly and never sacrifices quality. Easy to install. The piano comes with 4 pieces for the stand and a 1 piece fully assembled upper keyboard. You have 2 side pieces, 1 backing and 1 foot pedal. Line them up and bolt and screw them in. Put the stand upright, then attach the keyboard. The keyboard is attached via twist knob screw...

I had no business trying to assemble this on my own (but I'd start such a business if there was enough money in it, I suppose ...). Aside from accessories, It comes in 5 major pieces with 10 screws, so it's really not all that bad. The instructions themselves are screwy, in that that they are wrong about the screws. They imagine the back panel has 4 brackets and 4 screws, but there are only two brackets and two screws. And they tell you to put the ling fat screws where the long skinny screws go,...

I've been playing and performing on the piano for over a decade now, and I'm super picky about what piano I play on. This digital piano surprisingly sounds well and also has a decent touch when playing long sessions. I'm currently using this to also write and compose music on my M1 MacBook Air, and it connects seamlessly. The surface finish is very convenient for anyone who reads sheet music or a place to put their laptop/tablet on. Set up and assembly took a little bit longer because the keybo...

This piano is amazing. It has over 135 different key sounds and percussion. We have another lighter weight piano that we started my son on and it isn’t close. He loved the first one. This one has really solid weighted keys that feel very much like a real piano. This piano is a bit bigger but is better in every way. It has a retractable key cover, Bluetooth onboard, comes with a wired headset and holder under the keyboard, and has nice size powerful speakers that can fill a room with sound. Plus,...

Overall the piano looks and sounds great. However, instructions are poorly written (or poorly translated) and the slider handle was ripped off prior to opening. 2 of the screws came out of it and are yet to be found and, due to the construction , it I'd impossible to screw them back in without taking the entire cabinet apart. Edit: I was contacted by Donner and was impressed at their customer support. They fixed the issue with little to no effort on my end and now I have a 100% intact and functi...

"I started a few months ago with a classical guitar and always found that it was never really all that comfy. So I figured that an electric guitar, being less thick, would help in that arena. Obviously, I can now practice with my new guitar very comfortably - it is great. I like the feel it offers - its weight (it is heavier than a classical guitar) and how it is ever so smooth. The little tuning device is so small/cute and yet, surprisingly, it is functional. I was originally using a phone app...

This 39-inch electric guitar by Donner exceeds its price bracket with its quality. Both technically and aesthetically this guitar has all the bells and whistles of guitars by more prestigious brands. I got the one in ice blue because I’m really big on grayish shades of blue when it comes to my gear. The blue with white in the middle is a refined look that reminds me of retro 1950s cars, when ice blue was a widely used color. The metallic ice blue is a look that makes a statement that yes this is...

I’ve wanted to learn the drums my whole life. But I’ve never lived in a place where an actual drum set is an option due to neighbors and such. This set is perfect because you can plug headphones into it so only you can hear your drumming. You can also plug an amp into it if that’s an option for you. The set was super easy to set up and packaging was immaculate (I didn’t snap a pic before I tore into it to get it set up). The set is perfect for all users. I’m just learning and the metronome featu...

Exceptional in every way! Incredible sound quality and volume, perfectly weighted keys, & gorgeous design. Rich, stunning color and quality materials; matches our living room furniture beautifully (it’s difficult to tell it isn’t real wood from across the room!). Great pedals and jacks for accessories like headphones (our Sony headphones are a perfect match). Assembly was so quick and easy! Arrived in perfect condition; their packers/shippers did an AMAZING job. We are absolutely thrilled and on...

I really love my Donner DDP-80 digital piano. It’s the perfect addition to my *aesthetic* little condo. Not only does it aesthetically look GORGEOUS, it also plays AMAZING. The fully weighted keys were important to me, as I grew up playing the piano. I knew I wanted weighted keys, but also compact, and didn’t want to forfeit on either aspect. Luckily, this piano is the best of both worlds! I definitely would recommend this to anyone ranging from beginner to tenured player. Next Donner product on...
