Vegetable orchestra

Gabrielle sez, "This is a youtube of an orchestra entirely comprised of modified vegetables. There's a trumpet made from a carrot and a pepper, a carrot flute, and amazing percussion." Catchy tune, too -- delicious! Link to video, Link to Vienna Vegetable Orchestra site (Thanks, Gabrielle!)

Apparently they make soup out of the veggies after the show. No kidding. I know how much spittle there's in a clarinet after an hour of playing, so this soup is some kind of polite "oh, no, thank you, I've already eaten."

There is an episode of Look Around You with a vegetable orchestra. It's a bit different, though.

This would be relevant to Brian Wilson's interests.

And it consists of mostly weird noises and percussion. How surprising.

What I want to know is, what kind of vegetable instrument does the fat bassline come from that comes in at about 4:24 and continues to the end of the piece?

If they made a Roland TB-303 out of veggies, I absolutely need to know how it's done.
