It's the time of the year when carrots and other root vegetables are in season. If you've got an extra carrot from your garden, CSA share or farmers market, why not turn it into a clarinet?
In this video from TEDx in Sydney, musician Linsey Pollak turns a carrot into a clarinet within five minutes. The resulting instrument sounds surprisingly good. Watch here:
And the funny thing is, the carrot is pretty much unharmed, so if you get hungry from playing, you can just eat the instrument when you're finished.
