HUSH XLIVE selected for the show’s “Future Species” showcase
SHANGHAI, CHINA – Oct. 31, 2026 – Donner, the China-based instrument brand and manufacturer, introduced a lineup of new digital pianos and guitars at Music China 2026, held Oct. 28–31 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (booth N1D62). The new products include the Donner Starfold S1 folding digital piano, the Donner OURA J100, the latest model in the OURA digital piano series, the Donner PlugOne all-in-one electric guitar, and the Donner VIVA smart stringless guitar for people who have never played an instrument. The Donner HUSH XLIVE electric guitar was selected for the show’s “Future Species” showcase for its detachable speaker design.
New Products
Starfold S1 folding digital piano: An 88-key semi-weighted keyboard that folds up for carrying. It has RGB lighting, 127 voices, two built-in speakers and a microphone input.
OURA J100 digital piano: The newest model in Donner’s OURA home digital piano series has a graded hammer-action keyboard and 256-note polyphony. It keeps the clean lines of the OURA design and adds a wood-grain cabinet with cotton-linen fabric.
PlugOne all-in-one electric guitar: PlugOne puts the amp, tones and speaker inside the guitar, so it plays like a complete electric guitar rig straight out of the box. Players can practice quietly at home or in a dorm, or plug into external gear when they want more volume.
Seeker series electric guitars and basses: Donner added several new Seeker models in 2026, including the Seeker Deluxe Thinline electric guitar, the Seeker J1 Bass and the Seeker Deluxe Bass. The Deluxe Thinline has a classic TL-style f-hole semi-hollow body in alder with a gloss metallic blue finish, two pickups and a three-way switch. The Seeker Deluxe Bass is a J-style bass offered in Surf Green and Sonic Blue, with dual Jsingle-coil pickups and passive electronics.
VIVA smart stringless guitar: Donner VIVA is a stringless guitar for people who like to sing along but never learned an instrument. It comes loaded with original song charts, and the band mode in the Donner Play app adds drums, bass and piano that follow along, so one person can sing and play with a full backing band. Its sounds are sampled from real instruments, with more than 1,000 guitar tones. The neck detaches and the guitar folds to fit in a backpack.
DBM-100 digital metronome: The DBM-100 combines a metronome and tuner in one unit and has found players worldwide since its 2024 launch. Donner showed several new colors in Shanghai. It offers multiple rhythm modes, a large digital display, adjustable volume and long battery life in a size that fits in any gig bag, plus a rhythm training mode for focused timing practice.
HUSH XLIVE Selected for “Future Species”
HUSH XLIVE joined Donner’s HUSH series in May 2026 and was chosen for “Future Species” for its detachable speaker structure. The guitar amp is built into the guitar itself. The speaker module on the back of the body locates with magnets and slides in on a rail, and goes on or comes off in under three seconds with no tools. With the module attached, the guitar is a complete battery-powered setup with a 5W speaker. With it removed, the guitar is a headless electric that plugs into an amp or headphones. Small speakers mounted against a guitar body are prone to feedback, so Donner added an adaptive feedback suppression algorithm that keeps the sound stable at higher volume, even when singing and playing at the same time.
The step-up HUSH XLIVE PRO was co-designed and tuned by Japanese guitarist MIYAVI in his role as Donner’s Creative Director. It carries seven amp models tuned with his input and A/B dual-channel switching.
