Appreciate the real review, showing the not very useful buttons and nasty alternative sounds. This would go so well with my home decor, maybe the ddp 80 with weighted keys is worth paying extra for.
Not sure if this is sarcastic or not 🤣 I rarely ever use the “alternative sounds” on a keyboard anyway because i prefer just the piano sounds, but they were interesting to try out lol. But it’s hard to beat how pretty it is for the price 😍
I got this keyboard and wish I hadn't. First, I would agree if this is for a child or a beginner who has never touched a piano, it might be ok. It looks very nice, but I would argue these keys are not even semi-weighted. I tried all 5 weight options and it just feels like playing a cheap children's keyboard, not to mention the strange texture of the keys themselves. Just very confusing that they made the piano look so nice and then use the weirdest material possible for the keys. Donner flaunts a 30 day return policy, but doesn't mention until the bottom of the page that you're responsible for shipping costs to send it back, which, for a 40lb package costs more than the keyboard is worth. I wonder if their "more advanced" keyboards are better, but it doesn't seem worth the risk to try.
Just got it last night,, overall enough for casual player like me consider the price tag,, the only downside is the menu are not as easy as it looks or as explained on the manual book,, still confused how to choose the tone properly 😂😂
Ooooo good question!!! Not a right or wrong answer, but my personal opinion is that if you have good headphones to listen to it through a computer, I'd say go for 88 keys first. But if you're not planning on using headphones and just the speakers, I'd say sound over size!
I saw you are using iPad or an Android notebook to read your notes keeping it front of the piano. Can I please know what it is? brand name and specifications. Also if you are using any app. Thank you.
It's a bit of chicken and egg. On the one hand, you don't want to spend too much money on something you're not sure you'll stick with. On the other hand, if you buy a cheap "starter" keyboard, you might not be motivated to keep playing it because the keys don't feel right and the sound quality sucks. Over a year ago, I bit the bullet and bought a $10k Kawaii acoustic brand-new. It was one of the most anxiety-provoking purchases I ever made because of the price, but I've been consistently practicing 1-2 hours a day because it's such a joy to play. I even started taking private lessons over Zoom. No joke, it changed my life for the better.
