As I have pointed out along the sections of he review, there are many characteristics that impressed me in a big way. The general impression is definitely a positive one. As much the sound as the keyboard of the digital piano surpass its price range. The speakers are very good quality offering enough clarity to please even the more sensitive ears, their power filling any living room setting without amplification. There are many functions and effects you can choose from. Yes, a sustain pedal is included with the digital piano keyboard. The universal sustain pedal with polarity switch is compatible with all electronic keyboards. The range of the speakers is great and they behave very well with both low end and high end. Another plus point is the fact that there are no other pieces of the digital piano that resonate in any way when you turn up the volume, the sound being undisturbed by humming or vibrating noises. Keyboard And to be honest, I found that the tones of the Yamaha P-45 sound better than the DEP-20 despite using the same tone engine. This may be because the piano was made by Yamaha, the better sound system, or my own personal taste. With that said, there are a bunch of pianists out there who agree with me on this, which is a clear testament to the quality and consistency of Yamaha pianos.

The Donner DEP-20 arguably has more variety than the Yamaha P-45 with over 238 different voices. Now, this may make it seem like the Donner DEP-20 is the superior option when it comes to tone. However, I was fairly let down while going through the different sounds on this instrument. While the piano and a couple of other voices were definitely top-quality, there were more than a handful that weren’t up to par. So, while you get more voices, they aren’t as high-quality as the Yamaha P-45, which is very important to consider when buying a digital piano. Piano FeaturesAnother area where I found that these two models are definitely tied is in the extra piano features. Both the Yamaha P-45 and the Donner DEP-20 come with a variety of different playing modes, a couple of effects, and other features that make them great options for any beginner. Both of the pianos come with their own set of benefits that would be ideal for different types of pianist, which is why I found these two options tied when it came to the piano features. This is the one aspect where the Donner DEP-20 beat out the Yamaha P-45. One of the main complaints I had with the P-45 is its 64 note maximum polyphony. Now, this is still good enough for a beginner, but if you start playing pieces with dense chords that require the sustain pedal, you might start running into some problems. The polyphony also becomes a problem when trying out the different piano modes that use a variety of samples every time you press a key. The Donner DEP-20 probably has the most powerful built-in speaker system in its class and possibly even up a price range or two. That’s not something that I was expecting to find, but it’s true, thanks to dual 25-watt amplifiers. Tones & 128 Polyphony】 The 88-key weighted keyboard loaded with 238 types of tone like Ukulele, drum, bass, etc. vividly presenting voices of different instruments, arousing your keen to learn music. The digital electric piano with 128-note max polyphony, players could distinguish tone clearly in Chorus & Reverb under various occasions. In terms of all the different extra piano features, the Donner DEP-20 was also the clear winner. It has a bunch of different playing modes and superior polyphony, all of which are incredibly important in just about any piano out there.

Another similarity between the two is their connectivity options and polyphony. Both of the pianos support MIDI connectivity, which opens a whole range of different possibilities. And with 128-note maximum polyphony, you can easily play wide and dense chords with a lot of notes without worrying about a dip in sound quality. The key texture of both of these pianos honestly leaves a lot to be desired. Since they are on the more affordable side of the spectrum this is forgivable. However, it would have been very nice if the pianos featured textured keys to mimic the ebony and ivory keys of an acoustic piano. This isn’t the case. Instead, both of the pianos feature glossy plastic keys, which don’t make too much of a difference, but any experienced pianist will be able to tell that the keys are made out of plastic. This could have been fixed with a simple coating on the keys, but that is sadly missing on both models. ToneThe Donner DEP-20 has adjustable touch response. So, when using this piano, you can tweak the sensitivity to your liking. If you have a lighter touch, you can set it to “light”, and if you have heavier hands, you can set the sensitivity to “hard” and the piano will adjust accordingly. The Donner DEP-20 is equipped with graded hammer action. This means that the action on the left side is heavier than the action on the right side. This is how an acoustic piano is set up and the Donner model is designed to replicate just that. Record mode allows users to capture composition/song ideas or practice sessions for critical listening. It’s pretty basic but more than you need at this stage. LCD display

Versatile Instrument】You can control the rhythm with diffrent four types of metronome beats. The effects can select from trill, suspension, and DSP. Meanwhile, you can record and arrange your music with the recording mode. DEP-10 is good for players’ different demands and allows you create complex songs with ease. This is probably where the Donner DEP-20 impressed me the most. The presence and the depth of sound the speakers give is not at all what I was expecting for a piano this cheap. In fact, I'd wager that the speakers in this instrument are at least on par with, if not better than the speakers included with the Yamaha P125 or Casio PX160 - they're that good, and I have to say I was very impressed. Excellent Tones&128 Polyphony】DEP-10 88-key electric piano can switch between the sounds of eight different instruments, include Acoustic Piano, Electric Grand Piano, Church Organ, etc. And it can also play two tones at the same time( Dual Tone Setting Function). With 128 polyphony, digital piano can provide super clear rendition, natural feeling of different sounds , perfect for teaching and learning. I’ll start by mentioning the pedal unit that fits the DEP-20. Although the base is made of plastic, the pedal itself is made of metal and is very sturdy, another nice detail that Donner payed attention to. The pedal unit connects easily to the keyboard into a port located on the rear panel. The one area where I found the Donner DEP-10 superior is in portability. If you’re a piano student, you’ll probably have to be bringing your piano to lessons and jams with friends. And in this case, it’s best to have a lightweight piano that you can easily carry around with you.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

The Donner DEP-20 gives you two options; the included sustain pedal, which in all honesty is a lot better than you get from most manufacturers even at higher price points. Most pianos come with a very poor quality sustain switch, which tends to slide all over the floor as you're playing and doesn't give you any real control over the sustain - it's either on or off. I always encourage my readers to get rid of this and buy a proper sustain pedal. The primary reason the Donner DEP-20 is the winner in this category is the fully-weighted keys. While they aren’t scaled or graded like on the Yamaha P71 or the Korg B2, it does provide a fairly realistic feel. On top of that, fully weighted keys always beat out semi-weighted keys, which is what is on the Donner DEP-10. The Yamaha P71, on the other hand, only comes with reverb. However, it’s equipped with four different types of reverb that all have their own special charm and aesthetic. The reverb on the Yamaha P71 is more than enough for beginner pianists to add more depth to their tone, and is one of the best built-in reverb effects in this piano’s price range. Yamaha P71 vs Donner DEP-20: The Similarities The volume produced is excellent if you want to jam along with friends or even have those first band rehearsals at home (when you reach that stage). The Yamaha P71, on the other hand, features the AWM Sampling method. This tone generation technique takes very high quality samples from real Yamaha pianos. From there, a digital filter is added to make it sound more crisp. On top of that, Yamaha made sure to record the natural decay of the samples, for even more realistic sounds. This is the main reason I found the Yamaha P71 to be the better option. With much brighter, crisper, and more realistic tones, it significantly beat out the Donner DEP-20. Piano Features

With all that said, the 238 different voices do provide a lot of versatility and allow pianists to truly find a voice and sound that fits their style. Piano Features These are two entry-level pianos primarily designed for beginners looking for their first instrument. With that comes a lot of similarities, and in all honesty, both of these pianos do the job very well and would make a great choice for any pianist.Aside from dual mode, the Donner DEP-20 doesn’t have any other playing modes. On the flip side, the Yamaha P71 has duo mode, which can come in handy during piano lessons. This playing mode splits the keyboard into two mini pianos with the exact same tuning and timbre. That way, students and teachers can play along with each other and it will be like two musicians playing on separate pianos. On top of that, it also allows for easier technique demonstration without having to crossover to each other’s side. App Integration & Connectivity It’s not too heavy to move around the house when needed, but it’s rather big and clumsy. It comes with five feet on the bottom, one of which is oddly positioned in the middle of the underside.
