Prince can play 23 or 27 instruments.(really?)

i've heard these figures touted over the years and took them with a pinch of salt, so who's seen Prince play more than the usual.-

Guitar
Bass
piano/keyboards
drums
the Purpleaxe? (technically Piano i guess)

Anybody seen Prince play anthing else? or was it record company spin? just wondering.

It was record company spin.

Look at the credits to "For You" they list "Handclapsandfingasnaps" as an instrument.

Prince can actually only play the Jewish Harp and the bongos. All other noises he "supposedly" creates are, in fact, made by a small elf call Brian that he keeps at the side of every stage he plays on and, otherwise, locked in studio B at Paisley Park.

Brian is fed on chaff and boloni and sometimes wears red.

Every now and then Brian can be seen skiing down the outside of the pyramid structure at Paisley Park, until Prince notices. Once Prince notices, Brian is taken inside and baked in an oven until ready.

Once Brian went missing and Prince had resort to hand claps and mouthed noises in an attempt to convince Femi Jiya he was an actual multi-instrmentalist.
