Most parents tell their children not to play with their food. A group of musicians in Austria obviously didn't listen!
The Vienna Vegetable Orchestra, which was founded in 1998, uses fresh vegetables to make music. They choose only the freshest vegetables from local markets for their instruments, which are made an hour before the show. "Fresh vegetables produce high-quality sounds. Plastic packed vegetables do not make good instruments," they say. Each vegetable can be used in many different ways. Carrots are made into flutes, leeks into violins and pumpkins into bass drums. Combinations of vegetables are also used together to create instruments. For example, they can make a trumpet by using a cucumber for the body, a carrot for the mouthpiece and a pepper for the trumpet's bell. The sound of each imstrument depends on the quality of the vegetables and the temperature on stage.
The orchestra is constantly working on developing new instruments.

Венский овощной оркестр, основанный в 1998 году, использует для создания музыки свежие овощи. Музыканты выбирают только самые свежие овощи с местных рынков для своих инструментов, которые изготавливают за час до шоу/выступления. «Свежие овощи выдают звук высокого качества. Из овощей в пластиковой упаковке хорошие инструменты не получаются», - говорят они. Каждый овощ можно использовать по-разному. Морковь превращается в флейты, лук-порей — в скрипки, а тыквы в — басовые барабаны. Для создания инструментов используются также сочетания овощей. Например, можно сделать трубу, используя огурец для трубки, морковь для мундштука и перец для раструба. Звук каждого инструмента зависит от качества овощей и температуры на сцене.
Оркестр постоянно работает над разработкой новых инструментов.
