I have an inclination to call bull**** on this one. I played woodwind
instruments and the length of this instrument vs the pitch don't add
up. It's been a while but I think the pitch would be higher. Of
course, in theory I can't see why it wouldn't work, just not sure
about this one...

I also find it hard to believe that the holes he arbitrarily drilled in
the sides resulted in it being
in perfect pitch with the synth.

Nope. I also call BS.


Perhaps not so arbitrarily drilled. Notice that you never saw the drill bit
being inserted into the carrot. The view was from the other side. I'm
assuming that the locations for the holes were carefully pre-marked before
the drilling actually took place. This wasn't his first time to the Vitamin
A rodeo.
