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.

Question answered - it would be.

I need to read up more on sequencers.

Re-watch the video. At 1:31, the sequencer is turned on. At 2:58 it is
turned off. Listen close and you can actually hear him step on the foot
switch at 2:58. It's a sophisticated echo chamber. Do you remember as kids
we used to sing rounds in music class (Row, Row, Row Your Boat)? It's
exactly the same concept, except it is done solo. You lay down a basic
foundation, recording and playing it back in real time. Then you build on
the theme. Jean-Luc Ponty was a master at it. I'll see if I can round up
(round, get it?) an example of an early Ponty recording from my collection
and send you an mp3.

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

I forwarded this link to a friend of mine. I included this disclaimer in
the email:

FAIR WARNING!!!

The following link is for a You Tube video that graphically depicts a blow
job, the fingering of various orifices, and a rather unorthodox use of a
carrot! Viewer discretion advised. However, you'll likely want to forward
the link to your mother.

His mother is a retired music teacher.
