Best Answer

As far as what's known, the only two instruments on which Messiaen played on frequently were the piano and the pipe organ; these two instruments also serve to be the most important in his compositional output. While he might have played other instruments, no evidence exists to suggested that he did and this would be relatively unimportant to the music that he produced.
