DON'T DO IT!!!  The Yamaha wants 12V DC - the one you described is AC (=big bang).

A generic adaptor will be fine. My UK one is 12V 0.5A DC centre positive (which is the opposite way round to most things).  Most adaptors have a polarity changer.

I wouldn't worry too much about it being regulated - the Yamaha UK supplied one isn't and give out nearly 18V off load!
