So just b/c we haven't SEEN him play something, that means he can't play it? neutral This dude eats, sleeps & breathes music 24 hrs a day for most of his 46 years! Come on people lol Prince ain't no fool - if he can hire musicians to do it 20x better than he can, why the hell would we SEE him play the instruments he's so so at? OY...

He don't play congas. hmph!

Are some of these instruments perhaps just played on keys,I mean on a keyboard they have various sound effects, 29 instruments would take some monumental effort ,Sitar in itself would take a fair while to get to proffesional level,I heard Harrion spent about 7 years at it and he still hadnt mastered it. It wouldnt suprise me if this "Prince can play 29 instruments is a kinda joke" it would be no real shame if he could only play the guitar aswell as he does ,so playing only another 4-5 instruments is exceptional in itself.


The only bit of sitar I can recall is on 'Thunder', I think Prince did it..? He may not have mastered it to a professional standard but I'm sure he could manage a few finger plucks. Same for the harp.

I'm sure I read an interview with Candy where she said she'd seen Prince play sax and that he was actually quite good.

Everyone can play bongos. Not necessarily well....
