I am not an electrical wiz so I thought I'd see if there is anyone out
there who may be able to point me in the right direction.

I have a Roland Electric Piano, model number HP235 manufactured in
England and I am now in Canada and wish to be able to use it.

This is it's power consumption:
Power Consumption 45W at 230/240Volts

I wish to use it here in North America and have been told I need a
'Step Up Transformer' can anyone tell me where I would look for one,
I've looked at Radio Shack's website and I'm not exactly sure what to
look for.


Canadian Tire actually carries some inexpensive step-up/down autotransformers.
But, a couple questions first: Is this electromechanical or entirely electronic?
If it's entirely electronic it might well be possible to change straps on the
power transforer for American power. If it's electromechanical it may depend on
line frequency for tone and that would be very bad.
