Prince playing all instruments ?

If I'm right, prince does'nt play horns. Did he forgot to credit the horns players in a few songs of Musicology ?

The drums sound live on most of the songs.. usually he uses the drum machine.

I bet Blackwell did a few tracks cool

Prince does'nt seem to play drums anymore. He was not as tight as Blackwell, so I think that Blackwell is uncredited in a few tracks too. And he never really played sax... so who's that blowing on Mr.Man ? all instruments and voices by Prince... yeah, yeah... confused

The "horns" are usually synth, like Musicology or Face Down's "orchestra"

Does someone know which instruments Prince can play? Well obviously keyboard, guitar, bass and drums...But I've read somewhere he plays sax too...And of course percussion, but who couldn't?

I think the number of instruments is blown out of proportion (they always talk about 28 on his first album) Here's my guess:
Guitar
Bass
Voice
Drums
Percussion
Keyboards

He played sax in high school, I heard. He only pretended to play it in the "Face Down" video as an inside joke to some of his fans. I read somewhere that he said something about how he knew he could never play horns very well, so he hires those who can.
