Hello, hello!
Today, we are making a very very...
vegan video.
Yeah.
We will be making the...
carrot flute,
or attempting to.
There's a tutorial that we found online.
We've never done this before by the way,
so this is like...
- very spontaneous improvised. - Yes.
- I hope I don't stab myself with all these sharp tools. - Yeah.
Be careful if you want to do this at home.
Especially if you're a musician,
none of this...
Just put your finger there, it's kind of scary.
If you can't afford a musical instrument,
you have no more excuse.
'Cause you can buy a carrot and learn the flute.
- Alright. - I mean, these carrots were not that cheap.
We got organic carrots!
Brett: Very vegan carrots!
So here we go.
I'll try and make a recorder-cum-flute out of a carrot.
I'm not gonna use the whole length
'cause it'll be too long.
So I need to drill it out.
So I'm just gonna chop a bit off.
So I've got a carrot there about... what, 6 inches long.
Oh wait, 6 inches, um...
No, I think maybe like here.
- 6 inches in centimetres... - 6 inches in centimetres...
- 15 centimetres. - 15! Oh sh**!
- Damn... - Okay.
- Tsk. Can't relate. - I think, I think our-
- Dude, ours are basically only 17. - Alright, then we're not cutting it.
- Nah, no cutting. - I guess we cut a little bit off at the end, right?
- Yeah. - 'Cause he does cut it at the end.
Just the tip.
Eddy: I need to measure. Brett: OH!
Dude, that would hurt!
OHHH...!!!
- Why is yours longer? - Oh, I'll cut it a bit shorter.
I'm just gonna drill it out using a-
one of these wood bits.
And just make sure you don't go right through
the side of the carrot.
- Mine's digging in. Nah, this works. - Mine is thinner though.
Guys, can you see there's a hole?
Imagine how painful this would be.
- This video did not go how we planned. - Yeah.
Oh, I did it!
- HA HA HA HA HA!! Dude! - Mine is too thin! I can't do it.
How am I meant to do it!?
Ha ha ha ha!
Nah, no, no, not that now.
*Drill turned on*
WHOA...!!! *Drill turned on*
Should I try it?
Nah, dude, no!
It's gonna splatter all over the-
Nah, good luck. I'm out.
Brett: Dude, no, you might stab your hand.
Dude, the carrot is spinning.
Whoa...!
Oh, now what do I do?
You know what? That's as far as I go.
Yeah, see it guys?
Tutorial: Now what I'm gonna do is...
Make a little cut about an inch away-
an inch and half away from the start.
I'm just gonna cut through it.
I'll just go through...
So I'm through a little bit there.
Just to there, that far.
And then what I'm gonna do is...
I'm just gonna go at an angle,
and make a slit.
I'll do in a few passes.
But what if your carrot snapped, and...
How many holes?
I think he's doing two.
Halfway through first, right?
Enough that you access the hollow bit, I guess.
I think we both screwed it.
It's hard to be an instrument maker, guys.
- Alright guys, this is my little hole. - I think I might fail.
That doesn't look like your finger can block the whole hole.
(It was at this moment that he knew)
(he ****ed up.)
Oh...
You snapped your flute!
Oh...
Oh, thanks, Ollie.
Our friend has made a...
new carrot for us.
- Do you want to shave it more, or is that good? - Good luck. Of course.
You need it to be like this.
WHOA....!
Be careful, bro. Be careful.
No, no, no.
Brett: Ha ha ha! He's going in, he's going in!
Brett: Wow...!
I guess it worked.
That was the scariest thing I've seen in my life.
- This is my last carrot, so I want to see you build it first. - Okay, I'll make it first.
Let's go.
And now, what you need to do is...
block the end up.
This is end up, and put a little hole in it.
So I'm gonna use...
...the end of...
...the discarded carrot.
And basically, you just need to sort of whittle your carrot down...
...to form a plug.
So I just need to make that a little bit narrower.
So that's the plug.
But what you need to do is make a little flat...
...side on the top there,
so you can actually blow some air through.
Just take a little flat section out.
So it's shaped like that.
So put that in.
Oh, the first one is not meant for your fingers.
It's that opening at the top of a recorder!
And you're only meant to do one.
Wow.
Well, this is the last bet.
We have to-
- We can't mess this one up. - I can-
No, I can just stuff it in.
- Yeah, I guess. Nice. - That's it!
Alright, now we need to plug it,
I might as well start prepping dinner.
Here we go.
Give it a little bit of a blow.
*blows sound out of the carrot*
Hffhh!
I give up.
And I think that's probably too close.
Let me try.
I don't wanna blow it now. So dirty.
Too late.
Do it for the...
for the views.
Nah, rinse it.
Do it for the views.
Rinse it.
Rinse what?
Rinse the carrot.
That's it!
Hfffhhh!
Hffhh...
Nah.
Just try cutting a little bit more.
(♪ I want to break free! ♪)
*drumrolls*
*blows sound out of the carrot*
That's it!
Yay...!
Now, the last step, we just put three holes.
Just got a small drill bit there.
I'm just gonna put...
just a couple of holes in.
I'm a human drill.
*Vrooms*
Oh, there it is.
Alright, let's try it.
Fffhhh... Hfffhh... fhh.
How did you do it before?
It's changing the pitch though.
That is D flat.
That's a D!
I N T E R E S T I N G !
Guys, I'm drilling a third hole,
hoping we can get a different note.
- I think you need to change the mouthpiece, yeah. - Something to do with the mouthpiece. Yeah.
It's a reed problem, guys.
This is what it's like to play a bassoon or an oboe.
You gotta cut reeds.
It's so funny. Half the time you see them in uni,
they're just outside cutting reeds.
Yeah, ha ha!
Brett: Kinda make sense now. Eddy: Yeah.
Ha ha ha ha...!!
What is that?!
Can you show the camera?
- He's using a peeler. - Shave.
Ha ha ha ha...!
Guys, I can see the hole.
I think this is it.
I'm passing out.
This is how it's meant to sound.
Ha ha ha ha!
HOW?!
*plays a melody*
Dude, he's flexing!
A little bit!
I can hear E flat and an F.
So there you go, folks.
How to make a dead simple little-
- Dead simple my- - What about this?
I wonder if it's to do with the angle of this top hole.
I think so.
His was like, down... that way.
- Ohh... - Straight down, and then to one side.
Oh... the direction of, like here.
- OHH! - It is!
I need more of this slant.
Yeah, that one slant, and that one...
- Straight. - ...straight.
Physics!
OHHH...!!
Get the ambulance ready.
That sounds so painful.
*gasps*
That's the closest we're ever gonna get!
Dude, look at all the amount of carrots we shredded.
Pfft. I shot a carrot.
That's why the recorder has this.
Yeah...!
Oh, we should've looked at this first.
- Wait, let's play a duet. Are you ready? - Alright, yup.
Call the ambulance.
Recorder gang, what's up!
Accent the like button!
And legato the subscribe button!
We'll see you guys...
next time!
Dude, this recorder sucks.
Ha ha ha ha!
