Maybe it's just me because I'm not as deep into Prince as some other folks, but I can't recognize Prince's "voice" on any particular instrument... though I can recognize his overall sound(s).

And that's (one of the reasons) why I'll always rank Stevie far above Prince even though it seems fashionable these days to give P the crown because he plays more instruments and has displayed a wider stylistic range. I think Stevie *inhabits* his sound a lot more deeply than P does.
