How to Replace a Roland Keyboard Charger

Roland keyboards are among the most respected synthesizers and electronic music instruments in the recording industry. Their quality and innovative sounds have served both studios and touring rigs for decades. Professional keyboards require power chargers for most applications. Rarely are these machines built with the option for battery power. Active musicians may move their keyboards around frequently, and it is not uncommon for the keyboard chargers to get lost or become damaged from heavy use. Replacing a keyboard charger is not difficult.
