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.

If you watch the whole performance, it's clear that the microphone is
connected to a sequencer and digital processing. I have Adobe Audition
Version 3 for recording on my PC, and fixing pitch problems or even
changing the key entirely is very simple. Its not hard at all to make
an out of tune violin into a perfect cello.

I don't know about sequencers as that's really not my thing, but I
just read up on them - wouldn't that mean that the carrot would be
essentially in tune with itself?

Skeptic.

See, that's what's wrong with the universe in the age of the
innertubes.

Nothing is ever acceptable just as it is.

The guy is a performance artist, has a huge national reputation in
Australia (which can be found on a simple Gaggle search (I refuse to
use the NAME THAT MUST NOT BE SPOKEN)) and builds odd and curious
musical instruments.

And it's not like you can't build instruments out of anything. How
many of us who are musically inclined sat at our corporate desks and
built something out of paper clips and rubber bands? I have in
particular on a slow Friday afternoon.

I mean, you can make music with anything.

Plus, that's a freakin horse carrot.

~~ sheesh ~~

You guys need to open up your minds a little.

Yep, that statement is true. Don't believe me? eat too many burritos.

Me a Skeptic? I was the one who defended the pitch being possible. Look
how many play air guitar. Even an air guitar championship.
