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?

Tenor is actually a little easier to play.
