Carrot clarinet

Linsey Pollak drills out a carrot and turns it into a clarinet and plays it, live looping with a Boss RC20 to record 3 layers....from his solo show "Making Jam"

[@fanzel3251]

"You wanna join band? What instrument do you play?" "Carrot"

[@campin13]

I play celery

[@musclecat1005]

I play the mayonnaise

[@lonepotato1444]

And I play rubber chicken

[@derycktrahair8108]

That's good cos our Conductor uses a stick.

[@nikomitrione]

Mayonnaise. I play Mayonnaise

[@fabianhuegli]

This proves that you dont need a good clarinet to sound good. Just a good mouthpiece.

[@meldembinski3274]

4vonwarschau more like just a good embouchure and revision. good equipment does not equal more skill.

[@nathleflutiste]

The good thing with bad instrument is that they make you improve more. Sadly, I've experienced it.

[@rosie.4232]

It's a sax mouthpiece tho 😂

[@LarryShone]

orange IS the new black...

[@tychodancer]

I congratulate you on being clever haha.

[@LarryShone]

tychodancer ha ha

[@crushingrocks]

Nice one

[@LunamLegionam]

sax mouthpiece gives it a sax feel kinda-

[@Jimmy.O.]

Can you play the mayonnaise please?

[@elenajablonski6929]

No Patrick, mayonnaise is NOT an instrument.

[@KrishnaWMukti]

+Elena Jablonski hahahahaha you make me cry

[@Frickes]

[@robinrocks4987]

Elena Jablonski YES IT IS GO WATCH MAYONNAISE MEETS BASS

[@catoticneutral]

[@JackyLinVEVO]

I GUESS YOU CAN CALL IT A CARRO-NET

[@ronbarzilai5705]

That pun was bad and you should feel bad.

[@ang4291]

Ron Barzilai no, you shouldent...

[@mazeytrinca9675]

Jacky Lin I LOVE IT XD

[@jeffkim7015]

i was looking for this specific comment

[@theaquafilmsmedia]

Hilarious!

[@stellashayler7769]

I thought you weren't supposed to play with your food ?

[@hjonker]

He's playing his food, not playing with it.

[@jasonmartinez7667]

😂😂😂 Edible Clarinet

[@elijahvaldivia3729]

HAHAHA that's funny

[@tukalatikki]

😂👍

[@derycktrahair8108]

"Why are playing with the vegetables?" "Because my part is in unison with the the Brass Section"

[@stephenrobinson52]

I tried this with some lettuce...didn't work.

[@elenajablonski6929]

😂😂👏🏼👏🏼

[@user-sd6rg5ch7u]

Then do some research buddy .!

[@veot.2869]

That's because you didn't _lettuce_ try again!!!!

[@shadowknight6135]

@XxDuckyUxX//I'm going QUACKERZ heh lol

[@bradh6185]

I'm a guitar player and not too familiar with the wind instruments, but I can say this has a very high quality tone.

[@kailanakamura7211]

SO COOL!!!! For clarinetists out there, or to anyone who is in to music :3. Linsey Pollak turns a carrot into a clarinet!!! AMAZING. With just a big Thick hollowed out carrot, a power drill, peeler, and a funnel. The carrot is the body of the clarinet. The drill made holes for the fingerings. The peeler smoothed the column of holes. And finally, the funnel was a makeshift bell. :DDDDDD SUPER COOL

[@DrDaab]

More Vitamin A than any other clarinet!

[@porkchopman9560]

Dan Tong hahaha true

[@ludvigfrestadius8653]

Vitamin A-Major

[@berxsol]

Dan Tong so, you're saying it's an A clarinet. rather than a Bflat?

[@og33xx69]

Legend.

[@theAmazingJunkman]

As a clarinet main, I seriously had no words for this video...

[@abigailramos4468]

do you mean in a good way or bad way :-)

[@theAmazingJunkman]

Abigail Ramos a bad way

[@VerdeKidz]

Lighten up dude...it's a fucking carrot. As a musician I found this idea to be very clever and out of good fun

[@theAmazingJunkman]

VerdeKidz Well, I'm a musician too, and I just don't like it.

[@Spark31Gaming]

People reffer to instruments as mains? You sure you haven't been playing too many PVP games?

[@justicetaylor1247]

I half expected this to end with him eating the carrot...

[@alden5931]

Justice Taylor probably filled with saliva

[@alienorbiter]

I never knew Captain Piccard could play clarinet in such an awesome way. Telepath, Space Captain and now Clarinetist ? I'm impressed ! (seriously, i'm impressed by Pollak !)

[@SQUARMS]

sat watching a man play a carrot at 3am when i have to be up in 5 hours what the fuck am i doing right now

[@sandraqba]

I had to pay $350 for a clarinet when I could've gotten a carrot instead

[@apriljack3172]

had to pay £800 when i could have just gotten a carrot D;

[@marselmusic]

try altissimo tho

[@lettuce5450]

You would still have to buy the clarinet

[@addisonwillis46]

HappyFace Bro... $350 is NOTHING! That’s lucky you could find such a cheap one. My parents found mine for over $1000

[@leovargha]

Lucky! Euphoniums are $3,000... I have to use a school owned one.

[@concertinasteve]

Real "roots music".

[@DleifragRecneps]

Steve Taggart i lold

[@megadeth22885]

this just demonstrates how the basic principals of woodwind instruments work, and it matters not the tube its in.. see in woodwinds, you create a sound of a certain pitch, from fipples in flutes and whistles or from a reed on saxs, clarinets, oboes.. and the sound of the fipple or the reed is changed as the air flows down a tube the longer the tube is, the lower the pitch of the instrument, assuming the same diameter.. the more you cut the length of the tube, the higher pitched it gets... so holes are drilled in the body of the woodwind to release the air at certain positions effectively shortening or lengthening that tube depending on the highest hole you have uncovered so really the body of the instrument doesnt have much to do with the way it sounds, its all about the size and locations of the holes drilled into the tube and the mouthpiece itself

[@megadeth22885]

it would also depend on the bore diameter

[@devito8183]

Nigga, nobody's gonna read that.

[@Null257]

Thank you for taking the time to explain that.

[@dari564]

you know you dont need a reed or fipple do you ? see neys/kavals

[@DrDaab]

This is what I would call a CARONET !

[@ernestovillasenor1786]

lol

[@thegamergirlbridget9289]

True 😂😂😂😂🎷🎷🎷🎷👍👍👍👍🎵

[@DrDaab]

Or Perhaps CARRONET (with 2 L's)

[@thegamergirlbridget9289]

[@stevenmiles]

That was a truly organic sound.

[@TzadikTheManic]

The freshest composition - and it promotes healthy eyesight no less 🎶🥕👀🎶 This is something I definitely could imagine the renaissance man himself Peter Schikele (as the one and only PDQ Bach) doing. 👏👏👏👏
