Just finished listening to the 8 minute version of Thieves Ih The Temple (WOW!), and was wondering if that really is Prince playing the harmonica. It says he played all instruments on that song, but I can't ever remember him playing it on any other song. Has he ever played that instrument live?

i think it's some kind of electric harmonica; like the electric saxophone on Xpectation

I thought he only played a clitonica?

The saxophone on Xpectation is Candy Dulfer though Prince does muck around with keyboard-flute and keyb-trombone a few times. I'm 99% sure that's a real harmonica on Thieves, so who is it?

I think U mean SKIN-flute.

the harmonica part is a sample of a chamber brothers song according to uptown

He plays a pretty ok harmonica on 'Girl O' My Dreams'.

...erm...and what about the harmonica on the 12" of 'Raspberry beret'?

It's like 'lemme see ...what instruments do we have ...hmmm...ok, this one ...no...this one...no...etc.'

anyone can play the harmonica.

just thats there are good players, then theres the great players.

That's him on harmonica on the 12" of Paisley Park.

Isn't the harmonica on the Raspberry Beret 12" instead of Paisley Park?
It's the only song I can think of that has harmonica.

Oops. You're right.

I think he's been playing the Larry Graham skin flute for a while.
