Can Prince play horns?

We already no about other instruments, but what about the brass? Have anyone seen or heard P putting his lips on a horn of some type?

There´s this article from Prince´s highschool magazine from 1977 called " Nelson finds it hard to become known", as far as I know it´s one of the first, if not the first printed interview, and they mention that he also plays the saxophone.

Saxophones were also mentioned a couple of years later when a magazine described how Prince and Andre Cymone grew up in the same house.

Candy Dulfer also said two years ago that she had listened to a more recent tape of Prince playing sax, and she said he wa quite OK for a non-saxman.

I´m sure there are more hints, but I don´t remember them off the top of my head.

So, to make a long story short, yes, he can play the saxophone, but he´s reportedly not really a great saxophone player.

There's a (sorta) sax solo at the end of Dear Mr. Man on Musicology and the notes say drums by John, bass by Rhonda, shaker by Sheila, rhodes by Renato and that all other instruments were by Prince so I'm guessing that's him blowing the horn.

While I know my way around a guitar and bass, and drums, and a bit of keys... I bought myself a sax last fall and found out - damn! this thing's going to take a hell of a lot of practice! it's all about the intonation - something you don't worry so much about with a guitar

I've never heard of Prince playing a sax before - very interesting.

Not sure about the hornz thing. Ive heard that he plays over 20 odd instruments. Ive always wondered what they all are. We all know the obvious ones but can anyone shed light on the other 15 or so!

I heard he can play the horns a bit, but not that great. He never wants to play something he is not at his upper best at. This is why you rarely see him play drums. Prince knows how many cats can kill him on the skins.
All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

When he was on The View a couple of years ago, Starr Jones mentioned that he played over 20 instruments and his reply was... with synthesizers you can play almost anything....

so I think that's the answer.. he's using the synth.. not that "playing" other instruments that way is easy.. .i'm just saying...
Come here, babe.. yeah...

On the 1990 Nude Tour, Prince was supported on some European dates by Australian singer Jenny Morris. She mentioned in an interview that Prince would play sax on one of her songs but nobody knew as he was playing from backstage.
