DonnerDEP-16A Beginner Digital Piano 88 Key Full Size Weighted Keyboard, Portable Electric Piano with 3-Pedal Unit

I have been playing piano on and off since i was 5, and I was looking for a keyboard that wasn't gonna break the bank. This keyboard hit all my marks. Fully weighted keys are a MUST for me, and for this price point, they did an AMAZING job with that. Feels just like other fully weighted keys i have played. No sticky or stiff keys. Has all the basic functions you could ask for in a keyboard. Very comfortable and easy to play, with a very natural feel. I also need a large range of voices available when playing keys, and this definitely delivers that with over 200 built in sounds. I love that the sustain pedal is the real paino pedal style instead of most other keyboards at this price point that comes with one of those cheap plastic pedals. Also has support for a 3 pedal setup, which is pretty awesome.At this price point, i was prepared to make sacrifices when it came to functionality, but the sacrifices i had to make with this ended up being very minimal. If there was anything i would change about it, it would be that the inputs and outputs are 3.5mm instead of 1/4". Not a huge deal though. I can use adapter cables. Also, the built in speakers are fine. They do their job. Sounds is clear, and the volume can go pretty loud. The speakers just dont sound HIGH quality, just a bit more average quality. Expected at this price point though, and doesnt really affect me, as i will usually have it plugged in via midi or audio out.I was anxious about ordering because of the lower review rating, but im glad i decided to order. Amazing value.

Donner customer service has emailed promptly with me multiple times I own a 4 year old. DEP-20 but it no longer will turn on. No damage, just won't turn on. Good product, but Donner can't help with repair. Their policy does't permit sharing a diagram needed by the local repair shop to investigate. They have no contacts to offer to repair the keyboard. Nice while it lasted. But no use now.

The keys are fully weighted and touch sensitive. This digital piano is much easier to play than my previous keyboard. A (Sonart) with semi-weighted and touch sensitive keys. It does take a little bit of time to get used to the fully weighted keys.The default tone on this piano is set to 430 A. I noticed right away that the tones sounded slightly flat. After some research I discovered that Beethoven tuned his piano to 420-430. And tuning to 432 is easier to listen to and causes less stress than 440.The tones on this piano can be adjusted in 15 Hz increments but you can not adjust it to 440.So far I really like this piano.The speakers on this piano are so nice 15 watts that I no longer have to play the piano thru external speakers.I would like to know which edition of the French Dream Source is in this piano. It is a mystery.Anyway, I have new keys to play on and it didn't break the bank.And the suspend pedal actually works.3 weeks later. I am really enjoying this piano. The touch sensitive keys are great for someone like me who has a touch of arthritis and carpel tunnel in both wrists. A lighter action but still has the touch sensitivity so the music produced is very expressive. This is a great piano for a aspiring piano student.

I'm not sure why the review average is so low at 3.7*. I went to guitar center to play the popular fully weighted entry level keyboards like the Yamaha P45 and the Roland FP-10 which cost around $500, and judging by the key weighting and piano sound alone, this piano is right there with them. I also regularly play on an expensive baby grand acoustic piano, and I can't really tell the difference in the key weight and response between the grand piano and the DEP-16 because Donner has done such a good job. Also the sustain pedal is better on this one vs the clunky plastic one you get with the more expensive Yamaha P45. If you're just interested in piano, I feel like this is a no brainer at $200. I can't speak to the synthesizer or other features because I don't use them.

My daughter is absolutely thrilled!

The piano itself seems very good with weighted keys and touch sensitive keyboard (hammer simulation). The downside to this product is the stand it's not that sturdy and you can easily push or pull the keyboard forward because it's so narrow and it can't be put against a wall because the music sheet holder hangs past stand about 4 inches. Someone could bump it lightly and it would fall over. It is really not ideal for carpet as well as it rocks constantly on carpet. I will keep this because of the price point for the weighted keys and touch sensitive keyboard. But using this stand "as is" is not sufficient I will probably add some wooden supports beams to the bottom to keep it from rocking so much on carpet.

Unbelievably bad piano sound. There are 3 to choose from. Then, there are 200+ god awful tones to choose from that aren't originally from a piano! What a terrible instrument.Amazon is not letting me rate it at 1 star for some reason?

A great value for the price. I am pleased with this purchase.
