It did slip down the priority list as a result of getting the pre-amp.
Then it went up again as I discovered the hum was getting in before the
pre-amp (it's rather erratic). Then it went down again as I found that
if I powered the small Yamaha keyboard via batteries it solved the mains
hum problem (naturally).
However, I have been tempted by the local supermarket offering a 61-note
Yamaha keyboard at a low price - I tend to run out of notes on the small
keyboard I have been using. But it doesn't have a USB output, only midi
connector, and so I started looking for those, only to find that they
are much more expensive. Which I can't really understand, as I see midi
to USB conversion cables sold for next to nothing - I don't know what
these really do, let alone whether Alsa &c support them... As far as I
can make out, there does seem to be some usb/midi standard that allows
people to sell usb devices (such as midi controller keyboards) with no
software drivers which Linux will support. But whether there is a a
simple cable that would take the midi output of my small Yamaha keyboard
and plug it into the USB port on the computer I can't figure out. The
people selling the cables don't give any details about what they do.
