#488440 - 02/04/20 09:11 AM Busking with a keyboard
montunoman Senior Member Registered: 10/20/09 Posts: 3230 Loc: Dallas, Texas	Has anyone here dared to busk with a keyboard? How’d it go? During the holiday season, my daughter played her violin at the mall ( with permission from a store owner) and did really well! Just making tips she did better than most club gigs pay. I guess being a cute, and talented teenager has its perks Anyways, as I mentioned in Donny’s post about playing out, I’m considering busking myself probably in areas with no access to electricity. I have the Bose battery powered speakers but I’m looking for a solution for my keyboard. Either buy a battery powered keyboard or some sort generator. Do you think this portable power station could (safely) power a keyboard? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07T48...409Z3221Y1FZ8YH _________________________ It not the keyboard, it's the keyboardist. www.youtube.com/channel/UCV94i--V-A8kZShmGTKyDOw https://www.facebook.com/elgrupocache

I'm hoping someone like Gary will know that sort of thing.

I’m just looking for a way to power up my keyboard. _________________________ It not the keyboard, it's the keyboardist. www.youtube.com/channel/UCV94i--V-A8kZShmGTKyDOw https://www.facebook.com/elgrupocache

Many new keyboards are battery powered with internal built in speakers and are very portable. That’s what I’m really wondering: using generator of some sort or a battery operated keyboard. _________________________ It not the keyboard, it's the keyboardist. www.youtube.com/channel/UCV94i--V-A8kZShmGTKyDOw https://www.facebook.com/elgrupocache

leeboy Senior Member Registered: 10/09/04 Posts: 2580 Loc: Ocala, FL USA	Maybe a battery back up UPS for PC's would be an option...you could charge it at home then go play...would have to look at consumption on kbd, and compare to UPS to see how long it would last....Use the battery powered spkrs you have, to reduce consumption (turn off the internal spkrs if the board has them) There are some pretty large UPS's available... _________________________ Lee S.

salsaman Member Registered: 04/07/08 Posts: 175 Loc: Port Angeles, WA., USA	This charging unit cannot be recharged while being used. If you used the optional solar charging panel you couldn't use the P/S while the unit is being used. I keep a similar unit in my Prius for emergency starts. It always seems like when I need to use it, it needs to be recharged. Great idea but it doesn't always work when you need it. I can never seem to find a working flashlight when the lights go out. _________________________ Musician's Theory of Relativity: E=Fb
