It'd be easier to list what he can't play (expertly):

Woodwinds
Brass
Pan flute
Spoons

Although, I bet he could bang it pretty good on the spoons if he wanted to.

Actually, he can play the saxophone. He just doesn't like to.

Exactly, which is the reason I put (expertly) in.

Upon reflection though, he probably can expertly play the spoons, so I should take that one off the list.

I think P could play the ocarina if he put his mind to it, so I doubt we could ever get a definitive list

The ocarina is easy, even I can play that! Well by 'play' I mean 'can play 'London's Burning''. biggrin

I kinda had images of him playing something more complex than London's Burning but point taken, I should have used a better instrumental metaphor biggrin

He can really only play guitar, drums or keys, or some variation of the above.
Maybe we can go to the movies and cry together

And spoons. Surely he is a master on the spoons, as well as the harmonica.
