Donner 61 Key Keyboard Piano, Electric Piano Keyboard Kit with 249 Voices, 249 Rhythms - Includes Piano Stand, Stool, Microphone, Gift for Beginners, Black (DEK-610S)

I ordered pink. Very well packaged and received with no damages. I bought for a 6 year old so figuring out all the instrumental buttons was confusing even for 2 adults. We didn’t take the time to read the manual but with some time and effort would be easily figured out The stand and seat are excellent quality and secures well. This is a good purchase.

This is a solid beginner to intermediate piano. We originally bought the Moukey MEK-200 and it had speaker issues and a loose wire. The company gave us a full refund. Now we are trying this Donner DEK-610 side by side. I should have bought the DEK-610 right from the start! There's a big difference even though it's the same company. When they are both set at piano 000 the MEK-200 has a tinny sound and the Donner has a very clear crisp tone that is lovely. I grew up with a baby grand and a solid Yamaha electric. This isn't a grand but it is more what an electric should feel and sound like.We tested the keys -- a lot of cheap models will cut out if you push too many, some very cheap won't even let you do left and right hand chords together, only 6 notes -- on this model DEK-610 you can push nearly the whole board and none of the keys cut out.The action (how hard you have to push) is just about right and very natural. The MEK-200 was very stiff. I have sensitive joints and don't want tendonitis or inflamed joints from playing nor would I want my kids to suffer from tendonitis as they learn. So this model gets a thumbs up on their attention to detail there as well.It looks like from other reviews there was no power chord. Ours had one taped in the styrofoam at the side. I'm not sure if that was a covid shortage or glitch but ours came with it included.The microphone looks and feels like a toy but having add ons seems to be the fad currently. It's something to get you started or to goof around with and see if that's your kind of thing.This is a basic keyboard a kid or teen could grow into. It has a lot of options in back like if you want to hook it to your computer and get into mixing music. My teen is going to get a kick out of that. Right now he's still learning his notes.I'm pleased with it. If you're an advanced pianist you know what you need to make your fingers fly and wouldn't be buying a low end set. But for me and my needs I should have picked this model right from the start!

The media could not be loaded. My goodness---first of all, this is an INCREDIBLE bargain. I cannot BELIEVE how much comes with this keyboard. I actually realized AFTER I placed my order, all of the extras (which is really weird, as I am usually so detail-oriented).I ordered this as a potential replacement for a full-sized electronic keyboard that I received as a gift from my parents when I was in college. I was a music major, and it was meant to help me practice at times when I couldn’t or didn’t want to brave the elements to get to a practice room. Understand, I was NOT a piano major, but a voice major, and part of that degree included several semesters of piano, both class and private (I had also taken lessons as a kid). I mention all of that to say that even after all of that, I am not a virtuoso. I was good at whatever I was practicing at the time, to a degree, but it did not become my passion. However, as a professional singer, I sometimes need a reference point when learning a new song, or I teach voice lessons, etc, so it is great to have a keyboard around. The one from college is large, and I keep it stored in a dedicated keyboard bag. It is cumbersome to drag out…so I don’t do it often! My hope for this one was less trouble, thereby resulting in more use.So, all of that said…It is amazing that this comes with a stand and a stool. Even the music holder is wonderful.And the options…WOW. So many voices possible, so many styles possible. (Some of the funkier percussion options remind me of playing on the electric organ in my grandmother’s house as a kid! Ha!) But truly, the sensitivity of the keys, after playing on it for awhile, I realized, “oh my gosh! This feels exactly like the way the electric pianos we used in Class Piano in college felt like! ” So there you have it…it is up to college music department standards for playability, which is pretty awesome. Granted, it is not full size as far as how many actual keys, but there are not many times people truly need those extra keys on either end, let’s be honest.The LED window screen is cool, but the notation on the treble and bass clefs is not really accurate, so I wouldn’t spend too much time looking there for affirmation or help.There is some kind of “teaching” tool that I have not even looked into yet, so it seems as if perhaps one can use this to train themselves/teach themselves somehow…as well as the usual fun things like recording your own songs, looping, etc.I am not sure how the MP3 connection works…the connector looks more like a charging cable to me, but perhaps I just don’t have compatible mp3 devices…I am not even sure of the purpose there…are we supposed to be trying to play the keyboard sounds through another device, or play the music of another device through the keyboard? I don’t know.There is also a midi port, for those who use midi (I have not needed to since the 90’s, way back in the day when I was writing music with the Finale program.)If this were to have cons:1- The microphone it comes with is cheap. Feels like a toy. And there is no stand for it, so you would need to provide that (or have I somehow missed seeing a hole to plunk it into, maybe? ) Hard to play and hold a mic at the same time.2- This would be even better if it came with a storage bag. If you are planning on leaving it out all the time, you won’t need one, of course (though you might want to drape something over it to protect from dust). Right now I still live in a little house that does not have enough room for a dedicated music room, but hopefully someday…so this will have to be stored somehow, much like my older keyboard has been (but at least is till take up less space!).All in all, WOW, WHAT A DEAL. Seriously. I am certain my dad spent at least three times as much and maybe 5 times as much back in the day, and it didn’t come with some of these extras.
