play as a verb

[hirashin]

Hello, Hirashin again. I have another question about "play".

In the sentence:
"My grandfather sometimes plays nice tunes for me."

what does the grandfather do? Does he play a musical instrument or
does he play music CDs?

Thanks in advance.

It could be either. Usually it would be made clear by context or additional descriptive words.

For what it's worth, I agree with Petaris too.

Thanks for your help, Petaris and Clark.
