In terms of instruments, a trumpet would probably be easiest to form "honest" fingering. Trombone equally easy. Piano involves too much ad hoc movement; I can fake it (looks okay from a distance) by pulling the Right Pinky to the highest note and the Left Pinky to the lowest note. But anything beyond that just can't be mechanized. Guitar might be closer to mechanical? Should be possible to set up poses for the usual chords, but how about the picking? I don't have a feel for it. The way things are going, the Magic Empire won't have M*l Er to kick around much longer......
