Moving down from the keyboard itself, each of the four legs, and the pedal housing are all made of metal. With that said, they are all coated in a layer of paint which matches the wood stain of the keyboard itself, and the legs have some extra wood grain style textures in them to keep up the look. In the end, unless its user is some form of wood purist, the DDP-80’s all-wooden facade looks beautiful and will easily become a talking point of any space it is displayed within. So how do the keys feel? Well to me, they feel heavy but really pretty good and . . . quite realistic. I personally have always preferred lighter key actions like the Casio Privia PX-S series of digital pianos, and more recently I have even started to move towards playing unweighted synth action keys. So while they feel heavy to me, those of you that like heavier actions like the Roland PHA4 action or the Yamaha P515 piano’s action, or the action on many acoustic pianos, you will feel quite at home with the DDP-80. And as I’ve gotten more used to playing them, there is a pretty decent dynamic range available. And on that note, are you wondering how many levels of touch sensitivity the DDP-80 has? Well . . . how many levels does an acoustic piano have? ONE! And so does the DDP-80; just like an acoustic piano, you can’t adjust the touch response. Dear customer, this product has a MIDI port. You can input the MIDI signal of the piano into the computer, and then get the filtered sound you want on the music editing software of the computer, but this sound cannot be played from the speaker of the piano.

Ok so why am I excited about reviewing the Donner DDP-80 and what makes it so unique? Well, with the DDP-80, Donner has created a digital piano that has a very simple feature set that actually has more in common with acoustic pianos, but then includes a couple of the very basic but . . . important advantages of a digital piano. As a result, the DDP-80 will strongly appeal to people who are ONLY interested in playing piano, without ANY bells, whistles or extra features. And it will even appeal to some people who are actually considering an acoustic piano, but for cost, size, portability and (or) noise level restrictions, they want an alternative to an acoustic piano. Donner DDP-80 Assembly / Unboxing Do the legs/does the stand come attached? I want to know if the legs can be screwed off and I can store it without the legs when its not in use. Both keyboards have redesigned control panels and LCD displays for a better workflow, and the numeric keyboard has been replaced by direct category access. This should make it easier to get to the voices, styles and other features that you’re looking for. Yamaha GHS (Yamaha P45, P125 and DGX670): The DDP-80 action feels heavier than the dual sensor GHS action in these Yamahas; as far as which one feels better or is more realistic? I’d have to have them side by side to say for sure, but they are both very good actions. I do have to admit though that the Yamaha GHS is of a noticeably higher build quality (it’s super solid) Very much the perfect partner (read rival) to the P-45 above, the Casio CDP-S110 is a near feature identical, identically priced take on the exact same market. It too features 10 sounds, all the usual headphone, USB and pedal ports and a full-size 88-note weighted keybed.

Donner's choice to go with just the 1 piano sound and very minimal controls makes it clear who their target audience is. I’ve been longing for a piano for years but wanted something smaller and an option to plug in headphones with kids. About me I've been playing piano on and off since I was around 5 and I've played pretty much exclusively on acoustic grands, baby grands, and uprights from Steinway, Baldwin, and Yamaha. I've never owned or really extensively played on DPs. I'm also coming off of a long hiatus (3+ years) of not playing because I moved into my own place and didn't have access to a piano. I play mostly classical. If you are a piano purist that is only concerned with playing piano without all the bells and whistles, and you are looking for a an attractive furniture style piano with a good piano sound, decent action and great speakers, then I think the Donner DDP-80 is a great option. It’s almost like a basic acoustic piano with the most important advantages of a digital.

We're in 'home keyboard' territory here and the Piaggero is Yamaha's attempt to corner every need, offering sufficient piano performance with enough variety of sound and a keyboard action for those looking to get into broader keyboard/organ/synth playing, too. Conclusion I bought this piano out of necessity because it met my price, size, and aesthetic requirements. If given the choice, more budget, and space I definitely would have bought something better from a reputable brand. In the future, I'm probably going to sell it and upgrade to something better (hopefully acoustic) when we're able to move out. I also wanted to write this review because there aren't many out there on the DDP-80 and it's one of the first ads that comes up when you search for it so a lot of new players might be tempted to buy it. Overall, this is an amazing keyboard piano that sounds rich and deep, but the main reason to buy this keyboard piano is for its looks. It has a modern and minimalistic design that looks great in any home. The wood finish is classy, and the space-saving design is a huge upgrade from traditional keyboard pianos.I generally don't pay too much attention to brands, and preferring a cheaper off-brand version of a product about 80% of the time. In this case however, the item was a gift, so I opted for DONNER even though the price tag is significantly higher than other brands. One more thing that might be useful for people who live in shared spaces is that you can very easily adjust the volume of the DDP-80 digital piano. If you play an acoustic piano, it’s as loud as it is, and if you play notes softer, it changes the nature of the music. So this is undoubtedly an advantage of a digital piano over other alternatives. If you want to go really silent, you just use headphones instead, and nobody but you will hear you play. This might also help learners who might feel shy about having other people hear any mistakes. To all of you, I want to say: Just keep practicing. Everybody has to start somewhere, and nobody is born a master piano player. The features of the Donner DDP-80 digital piano USB to host port for connecting to a device like an iPad to transmit MIDI data to apps or software. This port does only send MIDI data (it would have been very cool if Donner could have done what Yamaha does on almost all their products, and that is include AUDIO in this port; you can’t have everything though).

What about effects or DSP? Well … does an acoustic piano come with reverb and chorus? Nope – neither does the Donner DDP-80; there are NO adjustable effects or DSP of any kind available, not even reverb. This is played on an 88-note keyboard with a progressive hammer action, so the low-end keys feel a little heavier than the top-end ones, as you’d find on a real grand piano. Finally, there are two downward-firing built-in speakers that are powered by a 2 x 20W amplifier. Roland FP-10 digital piano review: Performance & verdict This is REALLY where the DDP-80 gets super unique AND super interesting; once again, just like an acoustic piano – the DDP-80 has ONE sound – PIANO. It doesn’t have grand piano, bright piano, mellow piano, electric piano, strings, etc – just PIANO. So for people who just want to play piano, this is kind of cool; you don’t have 20, 60 or 800 sounds to distract you from your piano playing. And since there is only one sound, that pretty much tells you that, just like an acoustic piano, there are no layering features or splitting features on the DDP-80. Now I don’t have any specs or facts that they HAVE done this, but after playing the DDP-80 for a couple of weeks, I’m pretty sure they have done exactly that.Roland PHA4 (Roland FP-10, FP-30x): I think it has a similar weight, but since this is only a dual sensor, the Roland triple sensor action with escapement, will still be a much more realistic action DDP-80 has strong compatibility and can be connected to the teaching app on iPad and mobile phones for self-study, composition, or teaching. You can also connect the music editing software to the PC for internal records. When it comes to talking about whether you should buy the DDP-80 you have to start with the design. In our view, it’s a breath of fresh air in what is, aesthetically, a fairly conservative market, but we’re aware it won’t be to everyone’s taste. Very unique and attractive wood-like appearance, with a nice large wooden music rest and removable metal legs (with a wood-like veneer)
