The Truth About Free Gear on YouTube

In this video, I dive deep into my thoughts on the Donner S300 — a digital piano I didn’t buy, but one I’ve spent real time playing, testing, and reflecting on. I share how it compares to other pianos I’ve owned (like the Nord, Yamaha, and Roland), what stands out about it, and why transparency in reviews matters more than ever.

You can purchase the piano here: https://datasink.rantion-admin.com/t/QZ

Here’s the Thing is my weekly series where I step outside the usual chord tutorials and talk through the real stuff — gear I love, life reflections, and the creative journey behind the scenes. It’s usually shot standing up, one camera, no fluff. Let’s get into it.
