Review on Donner Wireless Page Turner Pedal: πŸ“± Rechargeable, Silver - Perfect for Tablets and Phones by Sean Bouchard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well. buy, you will like it!

After several years of using another brand of Blue Tooth tuners, it stopped working. I bought the Donner as the reviews were pretty favorable and the price was right. This works very well. I'm a pianist and I use it with the forScore app on my iPad. What I like most is the toggle that limits page turning to a single tap. My old pedal, if I hadn't released it right away, would have turned more than a page. It's not good if that happens during a performance. I also love the 50 hour battery life and the fact that it shuts down after 25 minutes of inactivity and comes back to life with the push of a button. I kept forgetting to turn off my old pedal and ended up having to charge it more times than I wanted to. Having only recently owned the Donner I can't comment on durability but it seems well made and I expect it to last a few years. while I like it more every day. I'm ordering a second one so I don't have to transfer it from my grand piano to my digital piano. I can just leave them where they are. They turn off after a period of inactivity and turn on again by pressing the pedal. Another advantage of this pedal compared to my previous one is that by pressing the left and right pedals at the same time, you can activate my iPad's virtual keyboard function. If I wanted to input a note into the score with my other pedal, I had to physically record it, turn the pedal off, edit the score, and then turn the pedal back on to resume the page turning feature. The Donner pedal eliminates all that hassle. This is a great choice for musicians who are slaves to the notes. Also, I now use the PiaScore app. They improved it a lot and I consider it on par with ForScore.
