The Vegetable Orchestra

I must have a thing for instruments made of vegetables! I just think it's incredible. The time taken to make the instruments, the fact that the instrument would only last a few days and also that you would always have a different sound to work with are all things most instrumentalists would dread. Us muso's seem to rely so heavily on our instrument and if it's the slightest bit out, i.e; a leaky pad, a broken string, a lose key we freak out a little. But then again, these guys are playing very simple things on their instruments, recurring themes that don't require alot of technical brilliance. Though I'm sure finding the right embouchure for some of these flutes and other wind instruments is no easy feat. Here's a video of the Vegetable Orchestra that might get you as excited as I am.
