If you are using an external amp, keep the volume of the keyboard at relatively low levels and only raise the amp's master volume.
I suspect, however, that you are not using an external amp, but instead, using the keyboard's internal amp and trying to play and sing to an audience. If this is the case, it's just not practical--even with the supercardioid Radio Shack mic. The only option is to construct a pair of speaker hoods made from heavy, black posterboard and attach them to the keyboard with Velcro strips. When completed, they'll look like air-scoops that youngsters put on the hoods of cars for their turbo-chargers. They will direct the sound away from you and toward your audience, thereby, reducing the possibility of generating feedback. The best optio, however, is to use an external amp, even if it's just a 100 watts--the results are far better.
Good Luck,
Gary

Thank you guys for your input on this matter!You are right when I use VH thru powered speakers, pointed toward the audience an keep the volume of the speakers on my KB low it works fine. I play most at resthomes. I not able to carry a lot around. So these small jobs, I use the built in speaker. I have a small powerd bass boost speaker. that I set on the floor.
PaulD, I sure your right, anyone who's been in this busness very long knows you can't point a mic at a speaker. But the speakers are right there, even tho I'm not right over them. The mic is directional, but I'm sure plenty of the sound coming around the sides of it to cause feed back when the speakers ar to loud.
MacAllcock, I have reset the Mic vol. I try to keep it ar low as I can and turn it up as I need in the boards mixer.
travlin'easy, You are right I do use the built in system!
Uncle Dave By workin the mic I can avoid the feedback. Dave I can remember when we had to work the mic. We only had one! I played flatop guitar we had a fiddle, banjo & a dobro. Three of us sang & we played bluegrass Country. We had to work the mic!
Beakybird, I've never tried one of tho's, Might work for me. I going to try to work with what I got for now. Thank you guys for your input on this. Your Friend, Nobby
