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.

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.

How are you going to run for POTUS then?

Recorder of that length is not much different in pitch.


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.

~~ mutter ~~



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

Tenor is actually a little easier to play.
