1:26Now PlayingA touring orchestra using instruments entirely of vegetables just earned itself a world record.
The Vegetable Orchestra, which only plays instruments that are carved out of vegetables, earned a Guinness World Record for the most concerts by a vegetable orchestra.
The 11-piece orchestra, formed in Vienna, Austria, in 1998, has performed a total of 344 concerts using specially-made instruments, such as a carrot recorder, a cucumberphone, radish bass flute, percussive pieces of eggplant and a leek violin.
“We believe that we can produce sound that cannot be [easily] produced by other instruments. You can hear the difference. It sometimes sounds like animals, sometimes just like abstract sounds,” the orchestra explains on its website.
The innovative group is constantly inventing new instruments — and they have to be prepared to improvise, since the vegetables can break or dry out while they are on stage.
