recently I added some new things:
cowbell in Stealin
Gong in the "Races" album intro

to be added: wind instruments

I saw some surprising things in the list (eg. glockespiel in DSMN). More on that later (maybe just next week).

Can anybody tell me the names of all the percussion instruments used in Get Down Make Love? Also, which is the drum used in Misfire? (It's the first drum sound you hear, plays along with the snare I believe.)

12-string electric guitar: Under Pressure, I'm In Love With My Car (at the very end?)
Nylon-string acoustic: I Want It All

The "Loser" intro percusssion was identified as marimba. I'm getting suspicious, because the same two pitches are used also in Hangman and Great King Rat. So my guess would be cowbell. Considering "Hangman" the 1975 tour stage photos have to be checked wether the drumkit features marimba or cowbell or something like that.
