That's a tough one..I think Grumpy played the pipe organ..I love Snow White..a classic.

Elwood ..harmonica.

Edith Bunker, piano

Ziggy Stardust must have been the guitar...just a guess.

Mr. Scott: Bagpipes

Gepetto:old fashioned squeeze box/accordian

Kermit: harmonica

Holly Golightly.. all I remember is Moon River/Breakfast at Tiffany's

That's all I have for that list..but now I will have to check out the list on Google..it's made me curious.
