Not remotely plumbing realted question but you guys tend to know most stuff

If you wanted to amplify a keyboard/synth but away from a mains power source - say in a car park or a field something. What would you do?

I'm guessing some sort of generator? Are they suitable/practical for this kind of application? Too loud? Don't last long? I know nothing about them.

It needs to be so easy a moron could do it for that'd be me.

Thanks

Small petrol generator. Not that quiet, well mine isnt, will keep running as long as you keep feeding the fuel.

my gen runs the amplifiers used for our sound system used on open days/rescue days etc. get one with at least 2 sockets qnd more output than you need for the sound system, ie able to run a decent core drill or chop saw, also when you own a gennie you suddenly get new friends appear out of the woodwork !!

Ok thanks chaps. Sounds like a pretty novel and worthwhile thing to own regardless.

Can you link me to anything half reasonable that's at the cheaper end of the market?

Does your car stereo have an aux in socket?
You can get a 5m 3.5 jack lead for less than a fiver and play through your car speakers
Possibly not the most pro solution...

This is my stereo. Would the thing just below the USB work for playing a keyboard through then?!?!?!......
