Product Information

Headphone Mode allows you to enjoy learning anytime without disturbing others. Support two earphones to monitor at the same time, which is convenient for mute teaching.

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. I’ve tried to focus on the positives here, and for the right player, there are many. It’s easy to use because the important features have dedicated buttons, and the panel is nice and clear. The abundance of sounds will keep even the most demanding youngsters entertained for a long time. Since these are some of the best beginner’s pianos out there, creating a Donner DEP-20 vs Alesis Recital Pro comparison was almost a no-brainer. And while it was a very close fight, the Donner DEP-20 eventually came out on top.Dep 20 is a full weight digital piano, and the timbre / rhythm is 238/200; Dep 10 is a semi weighted digital piano with a voice / rhythm of 8/128. If you’re a beginner, adjustable touch sensitivity can be very important. It makes it much easier for you to tailor the piano exactly to your playing style and needs, which is a very useful feature. The downside is that the speakers can only amplify the sounds as they are; they can’t enhance them. Generally speaking, when poor quality sounds are made louder, the quality worsens, which is true in some cases with the DEP-20. Both of these pianos use the Yamaha AWM sampling method. This is one of the best ways to produce top quality voices through the standard sampling method. Instead of using low-quality samples with artificial and digital decay, both of the pianos use the best samples out there with completely natural decay. While this takes up more memory, both brands chose to give their pianos more storage capabilities so that they can play higher quality samples. The action is actually pretty impressive for the price - it's probably about the same as Yamaha's GHS which is included in pianos much more expensive than this one

Both of these pianos have the same polyphony of 128. In the world of digital pianos, 128-note polyphony is considered the gold standard that pianos have to meet. Anything more than 128-note polyphony would be superfluous, unless each key plays multiple samples. However, since both of the pianos only play one sample per key, 128-note polyphony is more than enough. 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. 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. Superior Sound Quality】Equipped with two built-in 25W speakers, a sustain pedal, audio input and output, and an MP3 player. DEP-10 delivers a rich and immersive practice and performance experience for players.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

For starters, they are both full-key pianos, which is necessary when starting out with the instrument. While it might be tempting to buy a smaller, 64-key keyboard, there are tons of benefits that come with getting a full-sized option. On top of that, these pianos have a very similar build and design. Odd question When not in use, carefully standing it on end on carpet vertically. Leand against a wall for space saving. Would this damage the workings FULL-WEIGHTED 88 Key DOUBLE KEYBOARD】Standard full-size 88 scaled hammer action weighted keyboard. Keys are made of high quality frosted materials, with different levels of touch sensitivity, automatically adjust with your finger strength. This 88 key weighted keyboard provides dual-tone mode for combining two voices together, like piano and drum, inspiring to make a new creation. Yes,As you would expect the harder you press the keys the louder the sound.It is a fully weighted keyboard ( like a piano) and has quite a heavy action so it will take time to build up your finger strength, dexterity and flexibility.

One area where I was let down by both pianos was the key texture. However, since they are both entry-level digital pianos, it’s kind of understandable. The keys on both these pianos have very glossy keys made out of plastic. Now, plastic keys are completely fine, as even some of the more expensive models on the market use plastic keys. A massive, massive feature set - from the 238 tones, to recording functionality, metronome, etc, nothing is missing The one mode on the Alesis that isn’t on the Donner however is duo mode. Duo mode is a very useful feature for beginners, as it makes piano lessons much easier to handle. With this mode, you can divide the piano into two tiny keyboards, each with the same tuning and pitch. That way, you can view the keyboard as two different pianos: one for the teacher and one for the student. It's more than a beginner keyboard , in my opinion it can be used professionally. It has every instrument that's in an orchestra, several sound effects , and the piano and organ sounds are awesome. Duet Mode is convenient when two players, such as parent and child or teacher and student, practice together as the keys to the left and right of center on the keyboard can be set to the same tonal range. You can play two different tone at the same time.The product can be connected with ipad and computer by USB transfer interface. You can learn or play the keyboard to play, compose, store and operate other functions by the pre-installed music software on the computer or ipad. Edited music or accompaniments built in the music software can be played by the digital piano which is connected to the software or performed along with accompaniments. Hope the above helps. The Yamaha P71 and the Donner DEP-20 are two pianos designed for beginner pianists. This is the first similarity between the two and it’s also the most glaring. While the P71 is slightly more expensive, they are still within the same price range, which is a great range for beginners. In this range you’ll find a bunch of great pianos on a budget, and the Yamaha P71 and Donner DEP-20 are both great examples of that. The sound is clear and crisp, even when turned all the way up. Of course, you will not need to turn it all the way up, ever. A sixty to seventy five percent range will be loud enough for most people. But it’s good to know exactly what you spend your money on, even when it’s not a high priced item.
