Peter, thanks for the info on Ziggy the harmonica-playing elephant of days past.
While I have yet to purchase the cd, there is a cd called the "Thai Elephant Orchestra" or something along those lines which has elephants playing various instruments (sometimes with humans, sometimes without). One of the instruments the elephants play is a harmonica. I have no idea about what type of harmonica or whether it is played with mouth or trunk.
I've also seen an elephant playing harmonica on late-night tv. I guess the harmonica is an instrument that elephants find fairly accessible, as opposed to say, the violin.
Peter, one question. You say that Ziggy killed a "Marine Band trombonist". By this, do you mean a human trombonist who was in a Marine Band? Also, was it an accident? (which apparantly happens a fair amount when humans and elephants interact--elephants are just so big that they can easily hurt humans without any intention of doing so) I sort of assumed it was an accident, as if not I would have guessed that Ziggy would probably have been killed if he had shown aggression.
