Location: Scotland		Your best bet would be to go for a keyboard amp. They can handle acoustic guitar easily. Most acoustic guitar amps have pretty small speakers and small enclosures and wont deal the low-end of a keyboard too well.

Another option is to go for a full-range active PA speaker such as a Mackie SRM450 and a compact mixer.

Location: Jet City		For Mr Temps 1st suggestion, the Peavey KB100 has been used for years. They're pretty cheap used.

My son's school jazz band played an outdoor gig yesterday and the Roland keyboard amp was awesome - space, clarity, projection. And it was only the little one.

Location: kansas		I might go with this amp:

Yorkville 100KW 12" 2-Channel Wedge Keyboard Amp

Behringer had comparable model that's 'cheaper' and Roland offers a model the is more $$$'s.

Or I might stay with the bloc100k (yorkville-traynor) that I have now...

Over here the Behringer has twice the watts at half the price. I just get the feeling that the Roland is 10 times better.
