When You Can't Find your Harmonica: Carrot Flute

We've all misplaced our harmonicas at one point or another. Here's a temporary solution until you remember where you put it...

I've been wanting to make vegetable instruments for a while.  I'd seen a video where some kids said they would make them, then was terribly disappointed when they didn't.

So, in the back of my mind, I've kept that goal stored for the day when I had time to play with my food.

I had a few references, I will give them to you here:

That day was yesterday.

Armed with drill, knife, cutting board, drill bits... I made my first Carrot Instrument (I'll hold back from calling it a flute just yet...)

I have put the clip of the sounds from my Carrot Flute here on Patch, and the longer, how-to videos are on my Squigglemom channel.
