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.

I am a 70 year old woman who decided I was going fulfil a lifelong dream to play the piano.
I looked at several digital pianos and eventually decided on this one. It was so easy to assemble, I did this myself. The sound is lovely, it is a good height for me, keys feel piano like. Roll on 12 months from now when hopefully I’ll be at least playing “She’ll be coming round the mountain”.🤣

I’ve had this digital piano for about two weeks now and I love it, the weighted keys feel really good, very similar to the feel of a regular piano, so much so that if you push a key light enough, it simulates a real piano where no sound comes out and the more force you apply, the louder the note.
The sound is very good too, the speakers are powerful and I’m usually going at 25-50% volume as the speakers can get quite loud.
Its also really nice that you get two headphone jacks at the front instead of the back, its very convenient placement. Just make sure to get an adapter as the opening is 1/4 inch and a lot of headphones are 1/8.
All of this with a nice looking, sturdy piano stand for less than $400 is just a steal. A similar set up (piano, stand and the three pedals) from a brand name would be in the $800 range. For a complete beginner like me, its probably not worth it to spend double.
I didn’t use the many tunes and different instrument sounds the keyboard is capable of producing as I’m only interested in piano for now, but there is a huge variety to choose from.

Been using a 10-12 year old 61 key Yamaha for quite a while, mostly to have sound tracks to play guitar to, and to break down chords that I am learning on the guitar, to see how it all relates to the piano. I found myself running out of keys once I got into the second octave on the guitar neck, so wanted a full 88 key unit. Plus, ten year old sound tracks on the Yamaha, Ugh…
After MUCH research, (you can get a cheaper 88 key unit, but most are junk), I decided, based on reviews and YouTube videos this was the best bang for the buck.
Let me list the Pros and Cons:
Pros:
Uses the 128 polyphony software, which makes it sound just like a good piano. Some of the other instruments, not so much, and the drums are basically worthless, but a lot to play around with, but not a toy.
Full 88 keys with full weight, hammer action, full size.
Decent amount of add-on stuff, but not too much so it becomes more of a toy than an actual instrument. My old Yamaha had so much junk on it I didn’t use but about 10% of it.
Cool USB and MP3 connections for playing along to your playlist, and hooking into software on something like your laptop.
Four speaker system is better than most people think. Two up, two down. It gives the unit a much more rounded sound, where the top only speaker units shoot 100% of the sound straight up. This sounds more like a real piano.
Sustain pedal is cool, not that crummy little plastic square most come with.
Sounds like an actual acoustic piano in the default setting, save it is always 100% in tune, whereas a typical acoustic is like any other stringed instrument, tuning can vary due to humidity, temperature, usage, etc. This is ALWAYS in 100% tune.
Front mounted dual headphone jacks are cool. If you are taking a lesson, one on the student, one on the teacher, or if two people want to play quietly, lots of options. Like it.
Power Supply is included, and it is way smaller than my old Yamaha unit, which ran pretty warm. This is much better.
Cons:
Right off the bat, it is just too thick in the front. About 6″ total from the tops of the keys to the bottom. Then there are 1″ feet added, so if you try to put it on a table, it is just too high. For me, when I put it on my homemade stand at about the standard keyboard height, (I’m a woodworker), I found that my knees were hitting the lower front of the unit when the keys were about at the correct height for a typical upright piano. So you need long arms, and short legs. Not a deal breaker, but more of an annoyance.
They don’t make a three pedal unit, (Soft/Sostenuto/Sustain) for this unit. You have to buy the one with the stand that looks somewhat like an upright. It is somehow built into that stand, and they just don’t sell the three pedal unit as an add-on, although the jack is there on the back. They also claim that no other brand will work, so you are stuck with a single sustain pedal. I’m going to keep looking, maybe someone somewhere, who knows.
On mine, the highest two keys sound like they are straining to get the note out. In Grand Piano mode, (default), they are almost not projecting any sound, just a hiss. I will admit that my hearing is not as good as it used to be, but if I turn on some other types of tones in the unit, they come to life. Again, not a deal breaker, but it reveals itself as a digital…
Music holder is cheesy. It works, but my feeling is it might break in the future.
The instructions are there, but you can tell some Chinese person did the writing and translation, and some of the explanations are a bit hit and miss, plus the verbage used in the book does not necessarily match the names on the buttons. I found myself just going through, button by button, and making notes in the book so I know what effect does what, and the name that is actually used on the button. Once you play it a while, you will get to know.
Takes a while to get through all the sounds. You hold down a button, and it scrolls through. A little keypad would have been great so if you want to sound like a Harpsichord, you just hit a couple numbers, not scroll through tons of other sounds. At least the readout is good and clear.
Lastly, and this is nit-picking, I am not a fan of the slider volume system. I like a round knob. Over the years, I have had more than one of these sliders fail. Not a fan, but it does work and the unit is loud!
Overall, for a beginner, or a person in their first few years of their piano journey, or an apartment or small house person with not a lot of room, this is really hard to beat.
One publication noted it the best unit for under $700. I think that is about right. It is definitely worth the money, and I highly recommend buying it from Amazon, although you can get it a bit cheaper elsewhere.
But with Amazon backing it, you are good to go. So far, for me, I love it, love the key action, and find myself learning more piano now than ever before.
Recommended!

This is a great deal for the money. Quality and sound were unmatched at this price point. But damn this thing is heavy. I suppose that’s what happens when you have weighted keys. But I think 88keys was just too big for my space. I would like the 61key model better. 88keys is better for someone who has a place to set a keyboard up and not have to put away—not as practical for storing or travel (unless you’re a prof musician). They do have awesome cases with wheels and backpack straps that fit this keyboard though, so it’s def worth trying out.

Un ottimo pianoforte con tasti pesati al giusto prezzo. Buono il suono. Ha l’entrata per le cuffie. È facile da montare.
Perfetto per chi vuole iniziare e non vuole avere il pensiero di disturbare i vicini di appartamento!

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 🏆

Se arma fácil.
El soporte es de buena calidad.
Las teclas son contrapesadas.
Tienes opciones para grabar.

Lo único que en la descripción del producto pone que incluía un pedal de sustain de metal y a mí no me llegó.
Por lo demás muy contenta.
