Check princevault for the instrument question.

Check princevault for the instrument question.

But I already looked in the For You article and I did not see anything but if you could specify the article in princevalut it would help a lot thanks

Just guessing but the 27 instruments are probably all variations on drums, guitar, bass guitar, keyboards/piano and probably orchestral percussion instruments like; claves, tambourine, bongo, xylophone, triangle, maracas, guiro, cowbell, jingle bells, wood block, temple blocks, castanets, cabasa, conga, timpani/kettle drum. He has also been known to play harmonica/mouth organ and saxophone but not to a high standard. that's 22!

Please rephrase your thread title and post in proper English, with proper punctuation. I have no idea what you're talking about.

Ah, OK, so the second half of the sentence was about this.

Still no clue what the title and first part of the sentence are about, though.

.

But anyways, the list of those 27 instruments (which is absolute BS, with every kind of keyboards and percussion detailed, and Charles Veal's strings credited to P) is detailed on the album's booklet, scans of which can be found on Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/P...se/6023931

pretty sure he's asking if it should be certified for 1 million sales by now. His catalog seems to be pretty out of date certification wise.

I agree with Questlove. He’s playing 4 instruments. Guitar, Bass,Keys & Drums. They have like 10 different types of keyboard, so many different Drums,3 Guitars lol. 27 different types of the same four things.

I thought it was pretty generous of the liner notes to list "handclapsandfingasnaps" as apparently only one instrument instead of 2. I'm going to go ahead and think of it as 28 instruments from now on.

Lordy, he even had the nerve to count handclaps and fingersnaps, but the lie persists to this day that he can play 27, like the lie he's part Italian in a bid to seem exotic. You could get away with this bs pre internet age...

and that he was 17 when it came out... he seems to not like lying to Dick Clark... And YES also lied about his parent's races...

Big lol

haha, good one, but mark my words, other orgers will make a separate thread and extol its virtues by claiming that no one, but no one could fingersnap and clap like P...
