Donner DDP-400 88 Weighted Key Progressive Hammer Action Digital Piano with Furniture Stand & 3 Pedal for Professional

I’ve had this Donner DDP-400 88 key digital piano for over 2 months now as a birthday gift for myself. This was the first digital piano or piano I ever got myself and I couldn’t be happier! (An investment well worth it). I love the features it has, including Bluetooth which you can play sound from your phone to the piano speakers, very impressive. Comes with really good quality headphones. I couldn’t be happier, this is honestly a Really good, Sleek quality digital piano with a wide range of features, you can even record your own melodies. You can also learn to play slow or fast as it has a tempo beat. I love the material of the black keys. The Only downfall is that the white and black keys make a clunky sound. Unless you turn the sound up when you don’t have the headphones in: And the white keys could be made of stronger plastic. Other than that I highly recommend this digital piano, it has many sounds not just the acoustic grand piano sound but many others. The speakers in the digital piano is of outstanding quality and you can turn it up pretty loud otherwise it has a aux plug which you can plug your own external speakers if you want to make it even louder. Great job Donner, I’m impressed

So far no good. Received damaged piano. The process to resolve this is very slow. I called first thing Monday morning, also emailed pics, then called again today and still nothing. My kids take piano lessons and we had to unexpectedly get rid of our last piano, so not having a piano for this long has been a big frustration. Also, don't love the sound of the piano.

The whole left side is damaged and the cover for the keys is completely separated. They offered us $50 for compensation. Very frustrating to pay a lot of money for a product and it be so damaged. We want to return the product and get a new one shipped.

Nice lacquer coating. Well enough to have 138 tones.

Gorgeous full-size piano. Very high quality for a digital piano. Fantastic sound. Outstanding key feel. Has all the keys. Qualitatively just so much better than our old piano. I like that it has the built-in key cover. I like that the music stand is so large. But most of all I love how much it feels like a “real” piano. You do have to assemble it. Be aware that the box weighs over 100 pounds and is extremely cumbersome. Also, most of the weight will be in the main piece, meaning you need to have one or two people around to assist who can lift up that much weight. We separately ordered a Donner piano bench, which I can also highly recommend.

The piano is heavy，the sound and feel look exactly like a real grand piano!

Very high quality for a digital piano. Fantastic sound. Seems like donner did a better job to upgrade this DDP series. Better with a discount.

Cons: Assembling this piano is not easy. It took me 3+ hours (without any help). The intructions & manual was not helpful. I am not an expert and so far this is the hardest assembling I have ever done. That is why I decided to make an unb0xng & assembling video. It's not top notch video but I am hoping it helps. And also this piano does not comes with a bench. I have to purchased it separately. Pros: I have this piano for almost a month now and I play on it everyday and I truly think it's beautiful and sounds great. I'm still a beginner, so I don't have a lot of experience so I cannot be technical on my review but, my husband said this piano sound a lot better than my old unweighted keyboard. I definitely agree with that. I love the style & color of this piano, it looks lovely & really suit our home well. The size is perfect for my foyer. The sliding keyboard cover is solid and smoothly slides to open and close. The page holder is solid and large, with brackets to keep the page in its place. I can also fold it down when not in use. You do have to set it up against a wall though, because the back of the piano has a thin piece of wood and screws go in there, etc. But nobody sees that if you place it against a wall. The keys are sensitive and weighted. The keys even have a synthetic ebony and ivory feel. It makes it significantly easier to keep my fingers from slipping off of the keys while playing. A really nice touch that my old keyboards never had. The different voice polyphony & tones are fun to have, although I don't think I can use it all & the other many cool features. It also has a bluetooth connectivity that I can connect to my phone & computer. There are ports for the headphone jack at the left side and underneath with a hook to hold when not in use. However I did not attach it because I am not gonna be using a headphone. But nice to know that this ​has headphone included. I was so excited when I first saw this on Amazon Vine. I wanted a keyboard that have the weighted keys, three pedals, and sounded like a real piano. I'd been wanting to have a piano for quite sometimes. I am glad I finally own one. However the first piano I got, arrived with damage. It has been scratched, big bend at the front & it don't sound right. I contacted the seller & they send me another one. Customer service team did a great job helping me through of the process. Overall, this is a great digital piano for beginners. I haven't discovered everything of it yet but, I am happy to have it. It is beautiful & compact. Perfect for small spaces & great addition for your home decor. I highly recommend Donner DDP-400 digital piano.

we love it!

When I was young, I remember my piano teacher warning me about the dangers of playing a digital piano because it would "ruin my touch." For the longest time, I swore by this tenet, and I always preferred a traditional piano. However, tuning can get costly and after frequent moves throughout my childhood, the piano somehow got lost. During the pandemic, my urge to play strongly reignited, but I hesitated because of the costs involved. I saw this digital piano, and despite my upbringing, I decided to try it out. Installation: There are not many pieces, so assembling this is not particularly difficult -- it definitely helps to have 2 people, but it's doable by a single, dedicated person (approximately a 45-minute chore). One issue, however, is that many of the screws do not have caps, and some are slightly oversized, which leaves a bit of a protrusion sticking out of the wooden pieces...this is a bit of a safety hazard, but most of the screws are somewhat out of the way, so they are not readily accessible. Sound: I immediately noticed that the bass chords sounded somewhat jumbled (i.e., when a bass chord is pressed loudly, each individual note is difficult to specify). This issue is not egregiously bad, but it's definitely noticeable. The higher pitched keys play fairly crisp/cleanly though, and interestingly, the sound is much, much better with the headphones on (think "concert hall"). Touch: The weight of pressing down on the keys seemed similar to a traditional piano, which was a pleasant surprise. The foot pedals could be better, though. The echo should be felt immediately after the right pedal is pressed, but it seemed a bit stiff. Extras: There are many, many little options for this piano, such as the availability of over 100 different tones and the option to connect with your phone or computer. But in all honesty, because I am much more comfortable with a traditional piano, I just set this to the default "Acoustic grand piano" mode, and I have not experimented with most of the other features. All in all, I've been enjoying playing this piano during my free time. I love that I don't have to worry about the keys going out of tune, the headphones are convenient accessories, and the piano itself has a surprisingly elegant aesthetic (i.e., smooth wood trim and a clean, straightforward design). I doubt a digital piano can truly, fully replicate a stringed piano (at least not with current technology), and this piano is far from perfect, but it is still a very welcome, affordable (for pianos) addition to our household.

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, and the long skinny screws where the long fat screws should go - like trying to fit a very round peg into a smaller round hole. But you'll figure this out quickly enough when you see that the screws are obviously wrong. Since there aren't many screws to confuse, this really isn't a major liability. The assembly guide is really just a diagram with pieces and arrows and some of the arrows from the screws to the predrilled holes are wrong. That's all. Blame the artist, not the engineer. Anyway, I got it assembled in about 30 minutes - not bad - and I don't think I threw out my back or anything lifting the heavy top piece onto the support structure, though it really was stupid of me to have done that, especially since I was also barefoot. But I was lucky. Anyway, overall, a win. It sounds fantastic - like a real piano, not an electronic one - and it's a definite upgrade from our previous unit. My picture is mostly just to show you generally what it looks like assembled and to prove that I did, in fact, get it together - but I didn't remove all the protective plastic film yet, so it's not as shiny and clean looking as it is when the plastic is all removed. 5 stars because it sounds great (I already played a few tunes on it even though I hadn't removed all the plastic). My father died last year and I played his favorite song first to initiate this thing into our home. Miss you, Dad. Anyway, it looks good, and takes up almost no room. Also, delivery box was perfect and it was well packed, and used only a moderate amount of styrofoam (i.e. I could fit it into my regular trash bin along with my weekly trash). It does not come with a bench, but I prefer that because I think piano benches are generally unstable and uncomfortable, and your darling angelic kids, should you have some, start pushing each other when they sit together on a single bench. The two stools in the picture are my own. Overall definitely a big thumbs up from me.

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 screws that help make it easy to detach and maneuver. I think this is such a bonus feature if you want to quickly detach and travel with the keyboard only, but for me it is not as portable as their other electronic pianos. The build itself is sturdy, with excellent quality wood, seamless construction and a sleek, high-end, premium look, but let's be real, you didn't get this just as a decorative piece in your home, you got this to play or learn how to play. You get the best of both worlds with this keyboard. You get your standard old school grand piano feel, but jam packed and feature filled with all the tech of today. The feel of the keyboard is similar to professional ones you find at hotels, bars, restaurants, churches, etc where you just happened to walk over when no one was looking and snuck a few keys to play. The keys are weighted, it is a welcomed improvement over standard, flimsy, lightweight electronic keyboards. This is a pro-style looking and playing piano that is compact, but still big on sound. There are a number of your typical digital options in regards to beats, different musical sounds, plug in headsets and volume control. You may forget it is an electronic keyboard by how it looks, but it has everything an electronic keyboard offers, but delivers at a much better feel and quality of sound. If you can't tell by now, I am blown away by this keyboard from the sound to the looks to the construction. Excellent all around.

I just can't say enough about this digital piano! I knew it would be nice, as it's a Donner, and they have proven themselves to my family to be wonderful and affordable quality. We own four or five other products from them and all are five star items! Since we have a friend that is an accomplished musician and owns a music store, I feel confident in saying that Donner is really becoming a real contender in the music industry. All the Donner instruments we have gotten have impressed him. It's hard to even know where to start with this piano. First, it's gorgeous! It would look just beautiful in any space, with the classic black that is a combination of matte and gloss in appropriate places. The keys are spaced and feel just like a high end concert piano. All the digital additions of demo songs and instrument sounds are just the icing on the cake. It's just a pleasure to play! The sound is just beautiful. However, if does have headphones to keep all that beautiful music to your own ears, if the rest of your household is not participating. Assembly was very easy, although I was quite nervous at first, as it didn't come with step by step instructions. It did have an illustration as to how it all went together. I found that laying the main body on it's back, on the floor, then attaching the sides, then the foot pedal base, worked best. Then with two of us moving it upright, we screwed on the backing last. I'm really excited to watch my grandchildren learn to play on this gorgeous piano. They are excited about all the extras and it really has their interest! Just a perfect mix of modern and traditional for children to learn on!

The Donner 88 Key Piano Weighted Keyboard, premium upright Keyboard Piano for Beginner is a nice piece. It was very well packed when arrived. There is no damage during delivery and no blemishes on it. I have 2 kids playing violin for years and they are ready to learn another instrument for fun. I didn’t want a cheap keyboard or a full size piano. The piano is pretty lightweight and only took me 45 minutes to put together. We’ve been playing over a month and have no problem so far. This piano is good and at this price, it has several awesome features. I love the weighted keys and the sound quality overall is great. It has a variety of functions, such as 128 voice polyphony, 138 tones（includes 128 musical instruments sound and 10 drum voice tones), 100 rhythm styles, 20 demo songs, 100 etudes, chorus, mixing effects, timbre, rhythm storage banks, intro/ outro accompaniment, A/B interludes selection. With IOS, Android, and USB MIDI connection with computer. It gives you the ability to learn lessons through APP and making demo recordings and music arrangement. The sound quality is good, and is excellent for beginner and intermediate players. Keys are weighted, but a little stiffer than real pianos I've played. It is not terrible to get used to. The pedals feel almost same as real piano. It is definitely a nice instrument if you’re in the market and have a budget under $1000.

Gorgeous full-size piano. Very high quality for a digital piano. Fantastic sound. Outstanding key feel. Has all the keys. Qualitatively just so much better than our old piano. I like that it has the built-in key cover. I like that the music stand is so large. But most of all I love how much it feels like a “real” piano. You do have to assemble it. Be aware that the box weighs over 100 pounds and is extremely cumbersome. Also, most of the weight will be in the main piece, meaning you need to have one or two people around to assist who can lift up that much weight. We separately ordered a Donner piano bench, which I can also highly recommend.

Easy to assemble. Great digital piano for beginners. The sound quality is good. The design looks fantastic. There is a cover to protect the keyboard when it is not in used. There are many music templates to be used on the left control panel. Then the user can choose either basic piano mode or other specific music modes. Highly recommend this digital piano to beginners.

Love this piano. The quality is great, very sturdy construction. I like the quality of the sound, and the responsiveness on my computer. Overall I'm really happy with this. The keys feel great, the weight is awesome. Very happy with the piano.

We are not pros, not even close. Don't know how to play anything more than an off key hot cross buns. This seems like a great piano to learn on. Putting it together was a pain, the instructions were not helpful. Turning it on, and switching through the options is easy.

The digital piano was a gift to our daughter. My husband is teaching her. The sound is beautiful, the piano looks great too. We did order a Donner piano bench for this. Assembly was easy and we are quite happy with this.

Could not be more happy and impressed. Works as it should and has all the options you could ask for. Easy to put together.

Works exactly as described! A+ highly recommended!

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 keyboard itself is heavy. I'd recommend assembling this with another person to properly seat the keyboard onto the stand. There is no bench which is a bummer, but at least I am having a ball playing on this digital piano. There are a bunch of sounds integrated into the keyboard, two-speaker systems which sound nice, especially in the living room, and even a headphone mount to store the included headphones. Overall, this is a nice and fancy keyboard I'd recommend for any amateur or beginner looking for a quality set of hammered keys they'll enjoy for years to come.

I bought this for my daughter a very great purchase.

Bigger than expected. Makes the living room looks great. Great sound control in Grapevine keys. Comes with headphones which is good good for the beginners plan.

Ii's so fancy. Great alternative to an upright acoustic piano

This is a very good-looking electric piano. Sound is good with many options. The volume control is easy to use. It's nearly perfect except for the uncanny feel of the keys.

Very beaytiful

This piano exceeds my expectations. I highly recommend buying this product. However, I don't use any of the fancy technical stuff. This is only a piano for me to practice on and I haven't even listened to the domo tracks. It sounds wonderful and is a delight to the fingers. I think I enjoy this more than I would a real piano. Really, it is just that good.

expensive but worthwhile!

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 functioning piano.

This is a very good-looking electric piano. The assembly was not too complicated. Sound is good with many options. The volume control is easy to use. It's nearly perfect except for the uncanny feel of the keys.

I'd recommend assembling this with another person.

Excellent! I like that it has the built-in key cover.

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, it just looks good with polished accents throughout. The pedals are also very functional. The base has gliders of some sort that make moving this heavy (over 100lbs) piano easy. Donner has just really thought of everything here. If you are looking for a fairly priced piano to get started, this is an easy recommendation. Even experienced players will enjoy this. Also, there is a Donner app and this piano includes free online lessons with it. Nice touch. Buy with complete confidence.

This is an absolutely stunning electric piano, the look and feel are more like a real piano - and a very high quality one at that! My Mom was a church organist and we always had an upright piano in the house. I wanted the same experience for my kids, but buying and moving a real piano just wasn't in the cards (not to mention the required annual maintenance - professional tuning, etc). Enter the Donner 88-key digital piano! This is no ordinary electric piano - the action and quality of the keys mimic that of a grand piano! The finish is that of a high quality piece of wood furniture and the sound quality is absolutely stunning! It sounds so much like a real piano, I honestly forgot I was playing an electric! 5-melodic-stars!

Won't replace the real thing, but it's a great substitute!

I love the style & color of this piano, really suit our home well!!!!. This is a great digital piano for beginners. I haven't discovered everything of it yet but, I am happy to have it. It is beautiful & compact. Perfect for small spaces & great addition for your home decor. I highly recommend Donner DDP-400 digital piano.

This is really a beautiful electric piano. I got this to replace an older electric keyboard I've been using on a stand. The upright-design of the piano with the sliding key cover really transformed my room and my practice experience. It just feels so much better to actually sit down in front of a "real" piano, uncover the keys, and start making music. I also love the built in music stand and the fact that this piano is large enough that you can actually set things on it, so it really is functional in more ways than one. The appearance is quite elegant, it's very heavy, and the wood has a nice natural grain to it. The "progressive hammer action" keys are really nice, they feel just like the real thing to me. Much better than my previous piano that just had weighted keys. The hammer action is a big improvement in touch and sensitivity in my opinion. The sound is excellent. The traditional piano sounds are very natural, much less "digital" sound than my previous electric keyboard, and it really inspires me to just sit down and play. The volume and projection are great as well, the sound really envelopes you, and it sounds quite big. I also really enjoy the huge range of musical instruments to mess around with (128 instruments). I am not a classically trained musician, but I really love being able to sit down and improvise with a wide range of sounds.

It's a beautiful looking upright electric piano, and it sounds really nice. No, it doesn't sound exactly like a real piano, but I didn't expect it to. For what it is, I really enjoy it, and it's an instrument that not only looks great but inspires me to sit down and practice at it. Beautiful piano - and sounds very natural.

The digital piano was a gift to our daughter. My husband is teaching her. The sound is beautiful, the piano looks great too. We did order a Donner piano bench for this. Assembly was easy and we are quite happy with this.

Good.

The sliding keyboard cover is solid and smoothly slides to open and close.

Bigger than expected. Makes the living room looks great. Great sound control in Grapevine keys. Comes with headphones which is good good for the kids plan.

Beautiful at home.

Easy to learn. Great weighted keys for the price. Good for kids and beginners.

The pedals feel almost same as real piano.

Nice setting.

As for function, the keys are indeed weighted which makes playing feel better and helps control how loud each note is played. The keys are evenly spaced with no weird gaps or spaces. I like 'em, but I'm not finicky either. It can do a little recording, but the reality is that you'll just run MIDI into a computer for that. Selecting voices is a bit slow and clunky because you have to press a button to move from one to the next. Holding the button down does get it to scan, but the scan is slow. It would be better to have a knob that you just crank to get where you want. The voices it does have are nice and huge fun to play with.

This piano is good and at this price, it has several awesome features. I love the weighted keys and the sound quality overall is great. It has a variety of functions, such as 128 voice polyphony, 138 tones（includes 128 musical instruments sound and 10 drum voice tones), 100 rhythm styles, 20 demo songs, 100 etudes, chorus, mixing effects, timbre, rhythm storage banks, intro/ outro accompaniment, A/B interludes selection. With IOS, Android, and USB MIDI connection with computer.

I like the quality of the sound, and the responsiveness on my computer. A little more expensive than other digital pianos of Donner.

Highly recommend this digital piano to beginners.

This piano is far from perfect, but it is still a very welcome, affordable (for pianos) addition to our household.

Nice piano and great customer service to help me resolve an issue when putting together. Thank you again for your help and patience!!

As for the keys, it has a good touch feeling. Unlike ordinary electric pianos, the keys are real piano weights. I need to hit it with more force in the bass and just a light touch in the treble, which stimulates my fingers and increases the flexibility of my hand.

I have been learning piano for 10 years, and I stopped for a few years because of busy work, until this year I bought a Donner digital piano. It's a big guy, but easy to assemble, and it's good value for money, out of my expectations,. I am so happy to have it and make it a part of our family. Everyone who came to our house complimented it.

Looks like it ould be a good instrument, but the delivery included the wrong parts

I am new to the Donner brand but after reading some reviews and watching videos from professional musicians playing on it, I decided to give it a try. My daughter and I have been playing piano for 7 years (I consider myself a beginner/intermediate) player so quality of the sound and feel of the keys were our biggest concerns. We like having weights keys so the feel is more like a standard upright piano and the sound coming from below the keyboard instead of on top gives it a more full sound. When you start playing the higher notes it can get a little tinny sounding, but again not being a professional it's not too much of a bother. Having the full body with pedals also makes sitting down to play feel more like your at a traditional piano instead of an electric one. Assembly was easy, but make sure to lay out all the pieces where you are going to assemble. Having another person around is useful just to help hold some pieces and to lift the keyboard into place. I love the options for the reverb and different instruments that can be played, however I don't like that the last selection you set isn't able to be saved. Every time I sit down to play I need to change my settings because it defaults back to the original settings. When setting the touch sensitivity, it's actually what I could consider reversed. If I want a more authentic touch, a light press gives you a light sounds or hard press gives a loud sound, it needs set to Soft touch. I am sure we haven't even begun to explore all the setting available on this beautiful piano, but playability is wonderful and I'm happy to have purchased it.

So when it came in one of the legs screws were not attached now since it something I could fix I did replace the screws and added two more recessed screws to secure it. Its heavy and not easy to return I did check it and it does sound really good but I think the quality control on the support peices needs work.
