Customer photo review of Donner DED-200MAX Electronic Drum Set

Great little kit. I plugged my Fender amp into it and it sounds great. Also good to use the headphones when husband is trying to work ;) I do wish it would have come with a cable to connect my phone to the module so I can use the Donner Play App, but I've got one on order now so I can try that feature out too. I recommend watching a YouTube vid to help with assembly.

Donner’s Customer Service Team provides prompt assistance and excellent support. I’m impressed by how professional and helpful they are. The guitar itself also looks beautiful, with a great design.

Tried the NHL-500 at NAMM and honestly couldn’t put it down. The headless design makes it feel super compact but still very solid. The tuning stability surprised me the most — it stayed perfectly in tune even after some aggressive playing.

Customer photo review of Donner Essential L1 Synthesizer

Love it. It reminds me of my old C64 SID sounds, only with way more presence. Exactly what I was after. Also, shipping was fast! Came in about 3 days.

The guitar is sound unbelievably good! And it made me play anytime i want without setting too much gears. I still have to look for how the guitar do in some area of my playing.

Customer video review of Donner HUSH I PRO Acoustic-Electric Travel Guitar

I’ve really been enjoying this guitar! Aside from being incredibly easy to bring around, it also looks really cool, and I’ve already noticed people taking a second look when I use it for my busking and market gigs. 😂 I also love the huge range of effects available, which gives me so many options to experiment with and incorporate into my loops. It’s been a really fun addition to my setup and has made performing even more enjoyable. Definitely a must-have guitar for mobile musicians like me! 🎸🎶

Customer photo review of Donner HUSH X LIVE Travel Guitar with Speaker

The built-in speaker is a great feature — I can just pick it up and start playing without needing to connect an amp or set up extra gear. The sound is clear and surprisingly full for such a compact travel guitar. It’s also lightweight and easy to take around, which makes it perfect for playing at home, on the road, or even outdoors. Really convenient for casual practice and everyday playing.

Customer photo review of Donner HUSH X LIVE Travel Guitar with Speaker

Arrived faster than expected, well packed and no issues there. The Donner travel guitar, case and accessories, are proof that this is an extremely well thought out and executed product. Particularly for a guitarist who is going to unpack and play it immediately! All the accessories are provided and ready to use. Plug in, tune, play and it sounds great. The battery for the supplied clip-on tuner-included, guitar strap-included, and the onboard pre-sets sound great straight out of the box. The clip-onboard speaker is a really nice addition, and with my front door open is loud enough to annoy the neighbours! 😆 I still haven't used the top frame and should try that now. My hand didn't just fall immediately to the right place on the fretboard at first, due to many years of playing LP, SGs or Strats, but the Hush plays well, sounds good and kept me inspired to play. I might tinker with the action or give it to my tech to optimise, but I can flail away at high speed straight out of the box. There will be some adjustments to make for the scale length and where it sits most comfortably to play, in due course. I know it will travel well, with everything needed in the case for years to come. I'm sure it will become as comfortable as an old shoe to noodle on wherever, and is so portable for travel and tone! On the road, in the forest, around a camp-fire, and in onsite accommodations while working. A deeply well thought out and executed product thus far. 2 weeks in and it's the best travel guitar I've had and ticks all the boxes.

Customer photo review of Donner DDP-75 Flip-Top Upright Digital Piano

I absolutely love my DDP-75! The weighted keys feel really natural, and the sound is rich and beautiful. It also looks fantastic in the room — the upright design and flip-top lid make it feel like a proper piano rather than a digital keyboard. I’ve actually found myself playing much more often since getting it. It’s beautiful, enjoyable to play, and has become a lovely part of our home. Really happy with my purchase!

Customer photo review of Donner OURA S200 88-key Home Digital Piano

I honestly didn’t expect to enjoy this piano as much as I do. From the moment I started playing, the weighted keys felt much more natural than I expected, and the sound has a lovely warmth to it. I originally bought it mainly for practice, but I’ve found myself sitting down to play just for the enjoyment of it. What I love most is that it feels like a proper piano in the room rather than just another piece of electronic equipment. It looks great, sounds great, and the Bluetooth connection is a really handy feature when I want to play along with music from my phone. After using it regularly at home, I can genuinely say it has made me want to practise more — which is probably the best compliment I can give a digital piano.

Customer photo review of Donner DEP-07 88 Key Semi-Weighted Portable Digital Piano

Very pleased with my DEP-07. I was mainly looking for something practical for learning and casual playing, and it has been great so far. The setup was straightforward, and I like that the whole keyboard can be moved around easily. The sound is clear, there are plenty of functions to explore, and the included stand and pedal make it feel more like a complete setup rather than just a keyboard. I’ve been enjoying it much more than I expected!

Customer photo review of Donner DDP-75 Flip-Top Upright Digital Piano

I was looking for something that felt like a real piano but didn’t take up too much space, and the DDP-75 has been a great fit. The weighted keys feel really good under the fingers and the sound is much better than I expected for a digital piano at this price. I’ve been using it almost every day since it arrived, which probably says enough!

Customer photo review of Donner DDP-75 Flip-Top Upright Digital Piano

Absolutely loving this piano! We bought it for my daughter, but honestly I think I’ve been playing it more than she has. The keys have a lovely weighted feel and the sound is really nice, especially with headphones on in the evening. I also love the flip-top design — it keeps everything looking tidy when we’re not using it.

Customer photo review of Donner DDP-50 Weighted Digital Piano

I’m really happy with the Donner DDP-50. The keys feel much better than I expected for this price, and the sound is clear and pleasant for everyday practice. I also really like the simple design — it doesn’t take up too much space and fits nicely in my living room. Setup was straightforward and everything I needed was included. Overall, a great choice for a beginner or anyone looking for an affordable digital piano for home.

Customer photo review of Donner DEP-07 88 Key Semi-Weighted Portable Digital Piano

The keyboard is lovely! It comes with note stickers which is extremely handy for learning and has a headphone jack to allow for practice without making a load of noise. The stand is completely adjustable which makes it easy to practice in different places (even on the couch 😆). I would also recommend this keyboard purely for the sustain pedal, it really makes you feel like you’re playing a full on piano 🎹 I would highly recommend this keyboard for anyone wanting to learn - I had been tossing up purchasing this keyboard for a very long time and I wish I’d done it sooner!

Customer photo review of Donner DBU-200 4-String Banjolele 23 Inch

One excellent option is that the back of the body is easily removable, only 6 screws, doing this allows it to be acoustically louder. The included scale-length template card made it super-easy to position the bridge in the right place.

Delivery was a little delayed - but this was no fault of the supplier. Piano easy to put together and plays surprisingly well, I was impressed with the authentic feel.

Customer photo review of Donner DST-550 Electric Guitar

I admit to being somewhat apprehensive about purchasing a guitar from a manufacturer without being able to play it first. There were plenty of Youtube reviews of the Donner DST-550, but that's not the same as being able to hold one in your hands and play it oneself. I decided to give the Donner DST-550 a go. All my musician friends had never heard of Donner Music, so it was no surprise that they were politely skeptical about the quality of the product I ordered. Tracking updates were good, and I eventually received my guitar a few days earlier than expected. I was initially concerned about some slight blemishes in the finish, but Donner Music Service Australia was very cooperative. They considered the fit, finish and workmanship was within their quality standards, and I accepted that. I had some real concerns about distinct hum particularly on the 1, 3 an 5 switch positions (worse on gain channel and higher volume), and Donner Music again took this seriously and invited me to send a video of what I was concerned about. I had also done a lot of research inthe meantime and decided the hum was an acceptable hum inherent in single coil pickups. The hum varies in different rooms, venues and position of the guitar, all consistent with 60 cycle electromagnetic hum. Nevertheless, I purchased a high quality noise gate, and asked Donner to wait until I could try the guitar using the noise gate. (They had offered to send me a replacement guitar so I could compare it with mine, but I asked them to hold off). The noise gate arrived after about a week, and when I tried it, the hum issues were resolved satisfactorily, even on high gain, high volume amp settings. I have friends with expensive strat style guitars that hum when in single coil mode. Because my other electric guitars have humbuckers, I was not familiar with single coil pickups. I arrived at a position where I believe my faith in Donner Music seems vindicated. The DST-550 punches well above it's weight, and the roasted Canadian Maple neck is very good in the hand. The locking tuners are a bonus, and the quality of the 2 point tremolo bridge and switch hardware is impressive at the price point. The deeply sculpted double cutaways allow great access to the frets near the body. I did not need to adjust the neck relief, but did adjust the saddle heights and bridge angle to suit my taste...and achieved a nice low action with no fret buzz. The fret ends were all finished well. The DST-550 is not trying to emulate the vintage tones of traditional stratocasters, however it can be surprisingly good with a few tweaks. In reality, it has a great palette of very usable tones. This is definitely not a paid or sponsored review. Based on my experience with Donner Music, I certainly would recommend considering their products as a viable value-packed option.

Customer photo review of Shipping Protection

Tracking updates were good, and I eventually received my guitar a few days earlier than expected, well packaged and with no visible damage. I would say that the option of paying a modest sum to obtain shipping protection helps give you peace of mind in the event of something unfortunately going wrong with delivery.

Customer photo review of Donner HUSH X PRO Electric Guitar

Fretwork is amazing. Neck is fast and so easy to play. Keeps tune like a champ. Its a beaut and I've been playing it every day on the couch while my sexy expensive guitars sit in their cases. Can't wait to take it travelling.
