What do you think? does Prince play harp or are those samples?

On songs like 'Adore' and 'Still would stand all time' i can clearly hear the sound of a harp.

My question is now: is that Prince playing an actual harp, or are that samples he has used (or maybe, just another musician)?

I know that on the cover or booklet of the 'For you' album there is a list of all the instruments Prince can play, but i dont own that CD, so maybe anyone of you can help me out on this.

Probably a synth?

I'd say it was a synth, but he could probably play them if he wanted to
If you will, so will I

WAITAMINNIT!

How did U know Prince uses a KORG sometimes? It's a Karma, by the way.

This is not generally publically known. The KORG Karma is also used by Herbie Hancock.

Peace,

G.

The karma and the triton have the same basic sound set.

Yeah, I remember an interview where he said he could play a couple things on the harp, but on that song he used a synth because that way he could get it just right.
