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"
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
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 !)
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
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. 👏👏👏👏
The mouthpiece on most instruments is the sound producer, the vibrator of the air. The mouthpiece also contributes to the timbre (i.e. tonal color or quality). The body of the instrument then filters that vibration (i.e. alters tone and contributes to timbre), and the bell (in this case, a funnel) amplifies the sound.
He does live shows. I have seen him do it at the Woodford Folk Festival a number of years ago and more than one occasion. Some serious good shit there!
james morrison made a french horn out of a piece of garden hose, a funnel and a mouthpiece, and i thought that was awesome, till i saw this! clarinets ftw :)
@MultiSinger1999 if you look carefully, its a sax mouthpiece he is using so there isnt any cork. its called a clarinet because of the key and position he holds it in.
"You wanna join band? What instrument do you play?"
"Carrot"
I play celery
I play the mayonnaise
And I play rubber chicken
That's good cos our Conductor uses a stick.
Mayonnaise. I play Mayonnaise
This proves that you dont need a good clarinet to sound good. Just a good mouthpiece.
4vonwarschau more like just a good embouchure and revision. good equipment does not equal more skill.
The good thing with bad instrument is that they make you improve more. Sadly, I've experienced it.
It's a sax mouthpiece tho 😂
orange IS the new black...
I congratulate you on being clever haha.
tychodancer ha ha
Nice one
sax mouthpiece gives it a sax feel kinda-
Can you play the mayonnaise please?
No Patrick, mayonnaise is NOT an instrument.
+Elena Jablonski hahahahaha you make me cry
Any updates? :D
Elena Jablonski YES IT IS GO WATCH MAYONNAISE MEETS BASS
no patrick mayonnaise is not an instrument for the LAST HECKING TIME
I GUESS YOU CAN CALL IT A CARRO-NET
That pun was bad and you should feel bad.
Ron Barzilai no, you shouldent...
Jacky Lin I LOVE IT XD
i was looking for this specific comment
Hilarious!
I thought you weren't supposed to play with your food ?
He's playing his food, not playing with it.
😂😂😂 Edible Clarinet
HAHAHA that's funny
😂👍
"Why are playing with the vegetables?"
"Because my part is in unison with the the Brass Section"
I tried this with some lettuce...didn't work.
😂😂👏🏼👏🏼
Then do some research buddy .!
That's because you didn't _lettuce_ try again!!!!
@XxDuckyUxX//I'm going QUACKERZ heh lol
I'm a guitar player and not too familiar with the wind instruments, but I can say this has a very high quality tone.
SO COOL!!!!
For clarinetists out there, or to anyone who is in to music :3.

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
As a clarinet main, I seriously had no words for this video...
do you mean in a good way or bad way :-)
Abigail Ramos a bad way
Lighten up dude...it's a fucking carrot. As a musician I found this idea to be very clever and out of good fun
VerdeKidz Well, I'm a musician too, and I just don't like it.
People reffer to instruments as mains? You sure you haven't been playing too many PVP games?
More Vitamin A than any other clarinet!
Dan Tong hahaha true
Vitamin A-Major
Dan Tong so, you're saying it's an A clarinet. rather than a Bflat?
Legend.
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 !)
I half expected this to end with him eating the carrot...
Justice Taylor probably filled with saliva
I had to pay $350 for a clarinet when I could've gotten a carrot instead
had to pay £800 when i could have just gotten a carrot D;
try altissimo tho
You would still have to buy the clarinet
HappyFace Bro... $350 is NOTHING! That’s lucky you could find such a cheap one. My parents found mine for over $1000
Lucky! Euphoniums are $3,000... I have to use a school owned one.
Real "roots music".
Steve Taggart i lold
3:04 Hey, that's not very nice. >:C
But for real, that was the most wonderful timbre I've ever heard from a vegetable.
LMFAOOO
Deffend Hahahahahaha is like, fuck you all that thought i was crazy for drilling a carrot
Deffend a

it would also depend on the bore diameter
Nigga, nobody's gonna read that.
Thank you for taking the time to explain that.
you know you dont need a reed or fipple do you ? see neys/kavals
My Donkeys who are very interested in music and carrots just loved this.
Double Dot Ranch and Donkey Resort
That was absolutely fantastic!!! Music has absolutely no limits!!!
This is what I would call a CARONET !
lol
True 😂😂😂😂🎷🎷🎷🎷👍👍👍👍🎵
Or Perhaps CARRONET (with 2 L's)
Yeah
+Dan Tong ...or none :P
That night, down at the salad bar...
TOMATO: Hey, friend! How was your day?
CARROT: You wouldn't believe it.
Wow Linsey Pollak!. Amazing! Thanks for the awesome music.
I just have to say one word... WHOA!!!!!
Next step: make a mouthpiece out of beet.
Anyone see him point out the middle finger? 3:03
+Cuddlewuggle AJ I did see it xD, hw just sayd like "Fuck You I made a new Music With my carrot right here" xD
I did
That is awesome I can't wait to get some carrots and my clarinet mouth piece and try this. I love the song you played it was very jazzy !!!! LOVED IT
I feel like this guy is the reason that good dreams exist
1740: in 2017 we will have flying cars and a cure for cancer
2017: A cArOT cLaReNeT
3V1L KN1VA1 i'm fine with that actually
This was made 9 years ago
Kole Giberson music and gaming productions it’s a carrotnet
I don't think they had cars in 1740, and the book of movie I am Legend was a complete virus for a cure for cancer
wait til you get to 2020
Now for a carrot cornet.
This guy gets an A+ for imagination, creativity, and some serious skills!!
I played this for my N62 and N64 classes- they loved it!
and parents used to complain when we played with our food lol
I can't get the rabbit off my back
Good Heavens! That is mind-blowing! Creativity!!
I got chills from listening to a carrot...
Wow.
This is so creative. I want to try this. :)
Rodger Atlantis thought**
Music by vegetables, FOR vegetables.
I wish I could afford a carrot!
Dude even makes a carrot sound brilliant, wow
Legend has it he’s still playing the carrot
Thus Carrot Clarinet is totally appropriate for Vegetarians !
I think you've just put Selmer out of business!
Well done, Linsay, you're awesome. You never cease to amaze me, not for one moment =))
Now darn if I have not seen it all now. That is amazing!
Guys this is nothing compared to what i can do with a carrot...
I can eat a carrot...
Amazing, i know, i know
Wow!

Silvester Green ikr

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. 👏👏👏👏
is this true?
How did i end up here
Prateek Sabharwal same
Who’s watching this in year 2017
10 years and I still come back
i remember when this first came out, and i was obsessed with it!
And parents say don't play with your food...
holy crap out of a carrot?
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing.
That's talent! And the music sound just as the clarinet. I love it! XD
3:05 I think you used the wrong finger there.
Apathy ._. uuhm what😂
The little song you were playing sounded albanian 💙 gave me chills
simply sensational, is to be congratulated !!
That is the coolest thing I've ever seen iny entire life!
Very beautiful music!! Compliments!!
This is amazing.
This is not fake guys, he is recording himself while he's playing and then playing over the top. It is awesome!
That was awesome!

The body of the instrument then filters that vibration (i.e. alters tone and contributes to timbre), and the bell (in this case, a funnel) amplifies the sound.
This has got to be one of the most amazing things I've ever seen
Cool! It was fun watching you play the carrot!
That was a truly organic sound.
I like it. Nice earthy sound...
just one word...AMAZING...
This guy is brilliant!
didn't expect such a good tone!
Very good! inexpensive and Great sound! congratulations!
One day... I will bring this into my band classroom.
Probably on the last day of school...
this is outstanding
I don't know English very much.I am sorry if wrong.
It's great that every a carrot grows by a possible splendid performance 😂👍
Sounds like something that's telling me i need to decorate my house for the Sims.
this is awesome!
Musicians with some serious time on their hands...love it!
He does live shows. I have seen him do it at the Woodford Folk Festival a number of years ago and more than one occasion. Some serious good shit there!
@ELsclay I actually noticed that too. It sounds a lot like a Saxophone. Fantastic video and ingenuity, I must say.
awesome‼
Imprecinate‼
THIS is SOOOOO cool!!!!!!
The fact that it actually sounds decent almost makes me want to try that! :)
james morrison made a french horn out of a piece of garden hose, a funnel and a mouthpiece, and i thought that was awesome, till i saw this! clarinets ftw :)
This is so COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pazzesco!!! Che bel suono!!! Dal suono sembra uno strumento comprato:)
Wow, that's such a nice tone for a carrot!
After years this finally pops up, wow
I love it.
this is freakin awesome
More like a carrot soprano saxophone to me.. Awesome stuff
Amazing!
Amazing !!
I'd buy this album!
I love it!!!!!!!!
I knew Captain Pickard love music but this is new to me.
@MultiSinger1999 if you look carefully, its a sax mouthpiece he is using so there isnt any cork. its called a clarinet because of the key and position he holds it in.
That is so cool!
3:04 i love how after he was done playing he flipped the camera off
