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...

Recorder of that length is not much different in pitch.

Could be, it's been 20 years.. ;)

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.

Your probably right. I don't know anything about reed instruments, and
couldn't play a clarinet if I tried. Too many holes, not enough fingers.

Used to have a tenor sax that I played around with. Finally taught myself
the scale and "The Saints".
Gave it up though because the vibration of the reed drove me nuts.

Come to think of it, I have an alto sax in the closet. Haven't even tried
it. Never will either.

Fun! There are a number of similar efforts in the sidebar, but this
one is great.

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.

Well shiver me timbers ... the guy is legit. I wonder what his version of
a Sousaphone would look like.

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