Just for fun, I looked up musical presidents.

Washington is thought to have dabbled on the zither.
He had a harpsichord at Mount Vernon, but didn't play. He bought it for a granddaughter in 1793.

Jefferson played violin, cello, and clavichord.
Adams played flute.
Tyler and Wilson played violin.
Arthur played banjo.
Harding could apparently play several brass instruments.
Truman and Nixon played piano.
Clinton played sax.
 
Yep, Bill Clinton liked to practise his embouchure in the oval office.
 
Musical Presidents sounds like a children's game. Like Musical Chairs.
