Review and Opinion of the Thomann DP-33 and Where to Buy It?

Thomann is today the leading store selling musical instruments in Spain and throughout Europe. Furthermore, with the boom in online commerce its popularity has increased even more. Thomann also manufactures all types of musical instruments but this does not prevent it from being competitive in the sale of other brands. Today we will analyze the Thomann DP-33 digital piano which has a price of €399/£359. Thomann pianos have been catching my eye lately. Let’s go through their features:

• 88 weighted keys (Weight that the keys of an acoustic piano have and that digital pianos try to imitate to equal the touch of the piano. The keys in the high register are heavier and in the high register less. This is different from the sensitivity on the keyboard which serves to regulate the volume of the note. But a weighted keyboard always has sensitivity in the keys) with touch sensitivity and hammer action
• 26 sounds (Different sounds of piano and other instruments)
• 64 notes of polyphony (Number of notes that can be played at once. This includes accompaniments that also consume notes. So if you play over an accompaniment more notes will be accumulated)
• 60 songs
• Dual mode (Dual mode allows you to combine two sounds to create a more complete one. Typical is the combination of piano + string sound)
• Split mode (Split the keyboard into two different instruments)
• Reverb effect (Reverb effect)
• Chorus effect
• Metronome (Basic study element to study and practice the tempo of a piece of music)
• Transposition capability (Transposition allows you to move the note spectrum of a keyboard. This is to be able to play with transposing instruments. It is not an easy concept but it is made to facilitate the writing of an orchestration for instruments with very different bass and treble registers)
• Master EQ (refers to the master equalizer that allows you to adjust the parameters of the sound mix that comes out of your speakers)
• 60 pre-defined songs in the library
• 2 powerful 15W speakers that behave very well when set to maximum. On cheap pianos they tend to distort but this one behaves very reasonably.
• Integrated triple pedalboard with sustain pedal (The sustain pedal of a piano or keyboard serves to keep the note playing even if you stop pressing the key)
• 2 headphone sockets
• Stereo auxiliary output but may need injection box in large concert amplification system
• USB midi (MIDI allows you to do such wonderful things as connect your keyboard to your computer, record a sound track and with certain programs click through what you’ve played to musical notes on a score. MIDI tracks store the information of the musical notes)
• Weight 37 kg and dimensions 1365 x 330 x 790 mm (length x width x height)

Now that we have listed and described the features of this keyboard there is no better way to hear how it sounds than to watch the following video:

Thomann DP-33 vs Thomann DP-26

Now let’s compare two Thomann brand products, the Thomann DP-33 which is priced at €399/£359 and the Thomann DP-26 which is priced at €311/£279. One difference we can notice at first glance is that the DP33 is a digital piano with a cabinet included, while the DP26 is a digital piano without a cabinet. Let’s check which is the best keyboard for you according to the features each one offers:

• Both pianos have 88 touch-sensitive, hammer-action weighted keys. Weighted keyboard, is the weight that the keys have to simulate those of an acoustic piano, in the bass more weight and while going to the highest lighter. Sensitivity refers to what it is; by pressing the stronger keys, it sounds louder and by pressing less strongly. lower.
• The Thomann DP33 has 26 sounds, 64 notes of polyphony and 60 demo songs, while the DP26 has 20 sounds, 64 notes of polyphony and 2 demo songs. Polyphony is the maximum number of notes that can be played simultaneously on a piano.
• Both have modes: dual, layer and split, and effects such as: Reverb, Chorus and Master EQ.
• The Thomann DP33 has two powerful 15W speakers and the Thomann DP-26 has two 10W speakers, the former being more powerful.
• Both have a metronome and transposition capability, as well as a USB MIDI connection that allows them to be connected to a computer in order to be used as a MIDI controller in a music composition or production program.
• One major difference is that the Thomann DP33 has a built-in triple footswitch with a sustain pedal, while the DP26 has a sustain pedal input with a built-in pedal.
• The Thomann DP33 has a weight of 37 kg and dimensions of 1365 x 330 x 790 mm (remember the furniture included), while the Thomann DP-26 has a weight of 13 kg and dimensions of 1365 x 366 x 137mm (length x width x height).

The difference in price is mostly found in the amount of sounds, demo songs and the built-in cabinet. If you are looking for a piano to play live and carry around you would be more interested in the DP 26, but if you are looking for one to display in your living room or bedroom you could use the DP33.

The Thomann DP 26 sells a lot because it is a weighted keyboard piano at a very competitive price. It costs much less than the Yamaha P45 although it must be said that the Yamaha P45 out-sells it.

We will put the characteristics of each of these pianos in 2 different columns to make it easier to see the differences:

Thomann DP-33 vs Thomann SP-320

Another good comparison will be with the Thomann DP-33 which has a price of €399/£359 and the Thomann SP-320 which has a value of €239/£218. Again we find that the DP33 is a digital piano with a cabinet included, when the SP320 does not have the cabinet integrated, which you can also buy separately. Let’s see which one is the best for your needs according to its characteristics:

• Both pianos have 88 touch-sensitive weighted keys and the DP33 also has integrated hammer action. Weighted keyboard is the weight of the keys to simulate those of an acoustic piano, with the bass keys being heavier and the treble keys lighter. Sensitivity refers to the fact that you can give dynamics by pressing the stronger keys, sound higher and press less strongly. lower.
• The Thomann DP33 has 26 sounds, 64 notes of polyphony and 60 demo songs, while the SP320 has 12 sounds, 32 notes of polyphony (a little short for a digital piano) and 12 demo songs. Polyphony is the maximum number of notes that can be played simultaneously on a piano.
• Both have modes: dual, layer and split, and effects such as: Reverb, Chorus and Master EQ.
• The Thomann DP33 has two powerful 15W speakers and the Thomann SP-320 has two 20W speakers, being more powerful than the second one.
• Both have a USB MIDI connection option that allows them to be connected to a computer to be used as MIDI controllers in a music composition or production program.
• One big difference is that the Thomann DP33 has a built-in triple footswitch with a sustain pedal, while the SP320 has a sustain pedal input with a foot pedal included.
• The Thomann DP33 has a weight of 37 kg and dimensions of 1365 x 330 x 790 mm (remember the included cabinet), while the Thomann SP320 has a weight of 9 kg and dimensions of 1275 x 275 x 85mm (L x W x H).

The advantage of the SP320 is its great portability due to its small weight of 9Kg, however as a digital piano the DP33 offers you many more sound options and different improvements. It depends a lot on the budget and the function you expect to use.

We will put the features of each of these pianos in 2 different columns to make it easier to see the differences:

Thomann DP-33 vs Yamaha P45

Finally we will have this comparison of the digital piano with integrated furniture, the Thomann DP33 which has a price of €399/£359 and is one of the most sought-after digital pianos on the market in terms of price and quality, the Yamaha P45 with a price of €425/£389. Let’s see which one is the best for your needs according to its characteristics:

• Both pianos have 88 touch-sensitive weighted keys and the DP33 also has built-in hammer action.
• The Thomann DP33 has 26 sounds, 64 notes of polyphony and 60 demo songs, while the Yamaha P45 has 10 sounds, 64 notes of polyphony (a bit short for a digital piano) and 10 demo songs. Polyphony is the maximum number of notes that can be played simultaneously on a piano.
• Both have modes: dual, and effects like: Reverb, Chorus. The Thomann DP33 also has Master EQ.
• The Thomann DP33 has two powerful 15W speakers and the Yamaha p45 has two 6W speakers, being more powerful than the first one.
• Both have a USB MIDI connection option that allows them to be connected to a computer to be used as MIDI controllers in a music composition or production program. The Yamaha P45 can also be connected to iOS devices such as iPhone/iPad for use with Apps such as Flowkey, for learning purposes.
• A big difference is that the Thomann DP33 has a built-in triple footswitch with a sustain pedal, while the Yamaha P45 has a sustain pedal input with a foot pedal included.
• Both have a stereo auxiliary output that may need to be injected into a large concert amp system because it is not a true line input
• The Thomann DP33 weighs 37 kg and has dimensions of 1365 x 330 x 790 mm (remember the cabinet included), while the Yamaha P45 weighs 11.5 kg and has dimensions of 1326 x 154 x 295 mm (width x height x depth).

With a difference as low as £25, it’s worth taking the time to decide between the two digital pianos. As we mentioned earlier, the Thomann DP33 is a digital piano designed and created to stay in one room. While the Yamaha P45 is designed as a digital piano to start your digital piano study in a professional manner and still have the opportunity to transport it, what you will need is an injection box to go into a console or amplification system. It would be an excellent option.

We are going to put the characteristics of each of these pianos in 2 different columns to make it easier to see the differences:
