Paul,

I'm not sure what I would recommmend for a transformer, but
from my experience, when I took my US keyboard to Europe and
tried using a transformer I had terrible results due to the
difference in frequency 50hz (non US) vs 60hz (US).

The display would flicker, and overall it just did not work
reliably.

I'm sure there's a solution, I just hope it's not too expensive.

Good Luck!
