Orchestra Plays Music with Vegetables!

Apparently, vegetables can be made into fine musical instruments …

The sound of 90 pounds of finely tuned cucumbers, leeks, potatoes, radishes, peppers and other vegetables entertained a German audience at a weekend concert by the Viennese Vegetable Orchestra.

The nine-piece orchestra plays a range of original compositions on instruments constructed from vegetables — including a flute made from a carrot, a saxophone carved out of a cucumber and a pumpkin converted into a double bass.

"I would never have thought you could get sound out of a cucumber," a young woman at the concert said.

    The music definately sounds organic, but in kind of a gross way. I am left feeling slightly disturbed.
