Though I may be late to the comments I have a question as a new person who has played multiple instruments and is getting into the category of playing the piano now, from much time researching companies of Yamaha, Casio, and Donner pianos. I've always returned to the Donner DDP 80 and Yamaha YDP s34 digital piano, im not looking for too beginner piano but a piano I can continue to grow into with my skills along with wanting to stick with a more classical sound and a pleasing look. From seeing your piano reviews on many pianos, I wanted your opinion on these two together :] Thank you for the lovely review on so many pianos!
I am glad to see this idea: 1 instrument sample, but great. And a wife accepted furniture look. I also like the simple displayless userinterface. Reminds me to the casio cdp-s100 but one step further.
Thank you Jeremy. I was looking for an option for my second home (week end) and this piano really fills my necessity. At the end of the day the USB port always gives you a wide variety of sounds
When I was in fifth grade, I would ask my music teacher if I could play piano for the class, it was the first time I felt the weighted keys of a true piano 😂😅 it caught me off guard but I enjoyed playing it more than synth at home
The recorded sound is a bit synthetic in my view, but is it better with the speakers? I guess it could be used with a vst instrument.So it would be fantastic if it had an audio in port, considering it has 25w speakers...
A very impressive instrument from Donner, and a nice review, but maybe a bit too uncritical. It would be helpful to see the aesthetics with cables to the foot pedals snd power cord attached. This is an instrument that cries out for Bluetooth midi, as you could place an iPad or phone on the music rest and play the universe of midi instruments off your device. Well, maybe in “next year’s model”. (I suppose you could attach a CME or Yamaha USB Bluetooth midi adapter if they can get power.)
Amazing! I must admit that is one Retro looking Keyboard. It would fit right in the late 40's, through the 50's, and the legs scream 60's. It sounds pretty darn good too, though whatever Keyboard you give Jeremy he can make sound great. I do like the wood, they did a nice job. I'd prefer a darker stain like cherry, but this is nice to see. Nice review Jeremy! Take Care!
It sounds too digital I am afraid, but the design is nice as a digital piano. It would be great if they can make a model which doesn't comprimize sound and action while keeping the design piano authentic. But for this price range I can understand.
Great review, the Instrument looks wonderful, finally a nice looking instrument with a reasonable price. This proves that the many other makers are OVER PRICED.we know who they are. This is the evidence that the black plastic cheep looking instruments with great technology and sounds are vastly over priced ugly and wonderful sounding. Yes looking great and sounding wonderful needs to come together at affordable prices. Any good looking instrument builds pride in the ownership compared to just having another electronic item in the home.
Would you recommend this as the best option in terms of action for a price range of $1000 or below? Also, how does it compare in terms of action and "feel of a real piano" to the Kawaii ES920? I'm am looking for a piano that specifically "feels very real to an acoustic piano" but my budget is $1000 but I might have enough to get the kawaii ES 920 (possibly) which I've heard many good things about. Ideally thats the one I want since I've heard such good things about it but I rather not go over $1000 if I can because I'd have to borrow money and it would be difficult for me. I am just looking for the best piano thats action and feel is similar to a real acoustic piano I don't care much for the sound to be loud or too good. As long as it feels close to playing an acoustic piano. Please help me.
What about some of the digital pianos from China? I can't seem to find decent reviews on them. There's one on Amazon for a similar price as the Donner DDP-80, but it doesn't have a name.
I am thinking of getting this as our first piano, to go in living room. Question is, if I had headphones on, can I connect piano to an iPad to use a learning app like 'Simply piano' and hear the sound from iPad at same time?
This looks like a very soft, sponsored review. The piano looks nice, although some kind of toyish, not vintage just kind of outdated, yet is nice enough. However the sound is subpar, clearly only one layer of sampled velocity. This is not a professional not even an entusiast digital piano, is more like a beginner o just casual player...
Jermy .what I feel when comparing korg and Yamaha is that Yamaha's sound output is calm and pleasing and korg's output is more aggressive and sharp .is that true ?
Just got mine in the mail after work and i gotta say I'm really impressed with how good the internal speakers sound, the fact of how its so quiet yet loud in all the right places. it litterally sounds like a grand piano is in my living room without using any midi, a dawe, internet software, or any auxiliary devices. It also doubles as a portable piano and one cool vintage furniture piece.
They could put a better sample. I mean, it sounds good but it's clearly only one layer of velocity, changing only the volume between the piano and the forte.
Wait till the other Piano manufacturers get light of the style, give it a year there will be new models coming out with this very retro look, you heard it here first!!
Very pretty minimalist love the look, but too afraid not to go with a company other than like Yamaha who has been in business for a long time, I like kurzweil also, thinking of purchasing the dgx 670 and relay need to know how noisy the keys are I heard thumps when someone was playing it on u tube not acceptable can u tell me please about the noise of the keys on this and that model please I have to make a decision as we'd I am supposed to pick it up and pay for it found one Sam Ash was out of stock no idea when they could get one but found new 30 miles away.
You are correct, a 1000 Dpianos and none much different in sound or looks. Don't know why we are still waiting for a great digital piano sound. Great sound begins with great sound and high level of editing to our taste of what it should sound like. The sound of your reviewed piano again has a decay rate too fast making slow play impossible with notes decaying out before blending together. All Dpiano's sound good enough when played fast, like all samples, it is when you slow down and let them ring out, that is where the ugliness begins. So for the most romantic and passionate playing all Dpiano's sound like CRAP. Looks I will be upgrading my old Yamaha P95 to a new Yamaha P515, it will be a slight improvement but for 10 years of technology disappointing. Ever since I played my first sampled piano 35 years ago, been waiting for a hardware Dpiano that sounds like an acoustic. Software on computers have accomplished it already, don't know why it is taking so long to get the software success into a hardware piano?
ABSOLUTELY not. The Roland uses the PHA-4 action, which is considered the best action under 1000 by people who have experience with these things. The sound is also much more detailed.
@@Biozene PHA 4 is terrible action but Roland will undoubtedly have a better piano sound, Yamaha even more so. The only plus side of this model seems to be the design.
Great review ! just starting piano with a cheap keyboard I bought to start learning.. I kwon now what gonna be my next investment ! By the way can you tell us the name of the song you've been playing in this review ? there is on I really want to learn.. 4.19 thanks !
Hello sir, I was earlier using PSR-i425 and now I wanna upgrade to a digital piano with 88 scaled hammer action keys. My budget is around 40K Indian Rupees. I was confused whether I should get the Casio CDP-S110 or YAMAHA P45. Pls suggest me which one to go for. (Idk why but Casio sounds a little bit brighter to me compared to YAMAHA… and it’s just my personal preference that I like mellow sounds more…)
The Casio definitely is a fair bit brighter sounding. It's just a combination of which actual piano was sampled, and how those samples were recorded and processed. I definitely prefer the more mellow Yamaha P-45 between those two choices.
Thanks for another great video. Curious if you would be able to attache a Yamaha reface cp, to be able to get vintage keyboard tones. The reface is smaller and doesn't have the same action on the keys. Thanks for your input
I have a nice upright acoustic piano in the living room, and my very old studio master keyboardneeds replacing. This has a very decent sound,. If not perfect (velocity does not modify the sound), it is more than enough for practicing without disturbing the neighbours, and usb allows it to play any nice piano (or other) VST in a DAW. The wide space without any knob allows you to place a small master keyboard or surface on the Donner for other functions than just playing. This seems a tempting set-up , at least to me. What do you think, Jeremy (or anyone else) ?
what a beauty! looking forward for a review for Casio PX S3100 from your channel, comes only in black but seems to be a beauty and great value with arranger feature
Good morning!!!!! You are amazing in the descriptions!!!!!! You are amazing, dude!!!!!!!!! Incredible!!!!!! I haven't ever seen a video like that, where you give the answers needed with such clarity!!!!! Congrats!!!!! An thank you very much!!!!!
If I wanted Capabilities I'd get a Roland FP-30X in the same price range, if the ddp-80 is overpriced for the design it's not even a solid wood, it's made of MDF and Fiberboard (aka particle wood so it is not worthy of its price), No Bluetooth Connectivity, No Decent Samples or modeling, only one Piano Sample probably the French Pleyel piano I'd get a similar design from a Chinese OEM supplier for a $200 or less.
I've been looking for a new keyboard. Always been partial to Yamaha, Roland, and Korg, but came across a Donner just now, so I had to check out the sound before buying. Sounds pretty clean. Not bad
nice but buy a eletric piano is not nice for me, i prefer a normal piano and i safe electricity, and the sound is much better, real sound of a piano, but is good have a keyboard , some instruments its better have the original, but if you don,t have enough space, is good buy that electrical piano
Hey Jeremy - great review! Looks like a really good keyboard. Can I ask - how far apart are the legs, at their widest? I have quite a tight space I'd like to fit this in. Thanks!
Is donner's website actually legit tho, I opened it and it came up with a spin wheel that requires my email to spin, and i always get prize 5 which is 8% Off discount code that doesn't work

I think they got their inspiration from the Roland Kiyola
Ok
I see the clav but I think it’s more inspiring but an upright piano
Very pretty, okay key feel, terrible sound with inadequate dynamics (quiet versus loud sound).
Hey chief! Which one has the better/more realistic sound and key action? FP-30X or DDP-80?
Thanks!

No, it proves that slave labor in China can make reasonably priced, superior domestic products of superior quality seem overpriced.
Looks cool, but I wish it had a pull over dust cover
On the Dgx - 670 can you show a tutorial how if possible download external styles plzzzzzz🙏🙏🙏🙏
Has anyone tried the Classic Cantabile DP-730? It looks very good, but I can't find any reviews
Sounds great! Say, what is the sheetmusic app you are using on that tablet?
Thank you so much. Sir.
try looking at Indonesia. there is the Fort brand, which is very similar to this, with the name Fort Batavia LE.. I think this is the same product.
can change the tuning frequency on the piano?

Especially the psr and pa seies
Does it have half pedal function?
7:30 what song is this? i dont remember the title anymore
Clair de lune
In my local music store it costs 862.17$ dollars
But I get it instantly not have to wait days
What about the Casio Privia Px5s that's a good keyboard you should talk about
You want me to talk about PX-5S that was launched 8 years ago, no longer in production and can't be ordered in most places around the world? Hmm...

What song are your
playing
What is he playing at 6:13?
We know you added some
reverb and you ran an EQ
and don't say you didn't

Great review Jeremy! Does the fact that there is only 1 sound allow them to devote more polyphony to the one sound with multiple samples?
Yes it does!
Nevermind the piano. I'm more entranced by how resonant and deep your voice is. But the review is also great!
I appreciate that!
Can you connect wireless headphones to it via bluetooth, and is it possible to play on with 2 people like the ddp-60?
Is this a better purchase from roland fp10?? The money are pretty much the same. I would really appreciate it for some answers.
ABSOLUTELY not. The Roland uses the PHA-4 action, which is considered the best action under 1000 by people who have experience with these things. The sound is also much more detailed.

Dear Jeremy , I wanted to know your opinion which piano is better in terms of sound and keyboard weight? Yamaha YDP165 or Donner DDP-80?
If I wanted Capabilities I'd get a Roland FP-30X in the same price range, if the ddp-80 is overpriced for the design it's not even a solid wood, it's made of MDF and Fiberboard (aka particle wood so it is not worthy of its price), No Bluetooth Connectivity, No Decent Samples or modeling, only one Piano Sample probably the French Pleyel piano
I'd get a similar design from a Chinese OEM supplier for a $200 or less.
Kadence DP02W-WD looks similar to this.

nice but buy a eletric piano is not nice for me, i prefer a normal piano and i safe electricity, and the sound is much better, real sound of a piano, but is good have a keyboard ,
some instruments its better have the original,
but if you don,t have enough space, is good buy that electrical piano

Does it sound better than yamaha p-125?
No
Thank you for such a thorough review! What a beautiful keyboard!
The deal breaker for me is the sustain pedal. No shading, just on and off. I hate it 😅
It’s nice looking for sure but I wouldn’t say it’s the World’s Most Beautiful Piano, a bit extreme.
Greetings Jeremy. I am torn between this piano and the piggaero. I'm leaning towards Donner. Thank you for the videos and your knowledge.
With MIDI/laptop, can you still use the built-in speakers?
Could I modiffiy the octaves?
