Still on about a piano

Having spent a good amount of time playing a piano in Bridgenorth I realise just how much I miss tinkering with the ivories. So, back to thinking about the electrical system on the boat. It seems frightfully extravagant to install electrics just to run an electric piano, but I know it will be a good thing in the long run.

I find piano playing to be a wonderful way of relaxing and switching off, so it will be worth it.

  3. I'm assuming you're after something decent with weighted keys, but even so you may find something with an external power supply and DC in, allowing you to use a simple power supply for your piano. Even if mains, if that's the only mains thing you have, a small inverter would do the business - if say 50w total consumption or less, one of the tiny things maplin & others sell that looks like a mains socket that then plugs into a car cigarette lighter socket would do the trick... shout if I can be of any help, I do run an entire PA system on 12v. ;-)
