Ok, I'll admit it - this is WAY cool...

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.

Oh, and there was no synthesizer. It was a sequencer. All the sequencer
does is record and playback a loop of what is fed into it. The only
thing the carrot was in tune with was itself.


*That* explains it. Ok. It works. Just don't try playing it with a
piano.


Don't forget...you can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish.


I wonder if you could tune a lobster?
