thunder has announced a brand new digital piano model aimed at the beginner pianist. The DDP-80 is valued at around £480, making it an affordable option amongst a sea of higher-end pianos. Let’s take a closer look at some of its features.
Replicating the sound of an acoustic grand piano
The DDP-80 features an expertly-sampled acoustic French grand piano tone. Using the Donner-designed sound source, the piano delivers virtually every sound detail of an acoustic piano, alongside providing a realistic playing experience designed with weighted keys.
Designed for the beginner
Donner has given the piano a simplified interface, with the volume knob and buttons all located on the back to prevent any distraction while playing. For beginner pianists, over-complicated interfaces can be overwhelming. A basic interface allows you to focus on what matters; your playing!

Donner has teamed up with professors from Berklee College of Music to offer the Donner Berklee Tutor Course Series, a unique set of music courses available free to the public. These can be viewed on the Donner Music App. Purchase of the DDP-80 gives you total access to all of these courses. A great resource for piano learners.
