Two brothers from Beijing have carved out an unusual career – making musical instruments from carrots, potatoes and other vegetables. The idea of playing music with vegetables came to Nan Weidong, 43, and Nan Weiping, 41, only two years ago, but it has since become a passion and a career. The brothers learned to play conventional instruments from their father, a music teacher, when they were children. Now the pair live and work in a narrow apartment in Beijing, drilling holes in carrots, marrows, lotus roots and Chinese yams to make vegetable instruments that they perfect using an old electronic tuner. According to the brothers, different vegetables have different scales and are therefore suited to different melodies: a sweet potato makes an ocarina, a bamboo shoot becomes a flute, a yam, a whistle. But controlling the pitch is still extremely difficult, because changes in the air temperature, humidity and other factors can warp the shape of the holes and put the notes out of tune. The Nan brothers, whose repertoire ranges from traditional Chinese flute music to modern pop to western folk songs like Auld Lang Syne, have appeared on talent shows in China and can receive payments of 30000 to 50000 yuan (£3000 to £5000) for a performance.

The two have been using all their veg for making musical instruments from vegetables and giving numerous performances in China. Tired of munching on ‘taters? Gnawing on carrots? Two brothers in Beijing have come up with an alternative use for roots, tubers, and gourds. Nan Weidong and Nan Weiping have refined the art of fashioning musical instruments out of vegetables. The two were encouraged to study music by their music teacher father and came up with the idea of making instruments from vegetables two years ago. Nan Weidong explains that picking the right raw material is essential. [Nan Weidong, Musician]: “If the water content in vegetables evaporates, the tune will become higher than the basic tune or go out of tune. Therefore we choose the vegetables with as much water content as possible. The vegetables have to be solid and hard. We can’t use those vegetables left over for days. They are too soft to be played.” The brothers test the pitch of the instruments with an electronic tuner. [Nan Weiping, Musician]: “The deeper the hole, the lower the pitch. The shallower the hole, the high the pitch. Besides, the size of the hole also matters to guarantee the quality of the sound. The leeks only serve as decoration. I … Video Rating: 4 / 5

Today i’m just putting this together quickly without much thought.Looking at plant uptake of water,a fast peek at the tent and my outdoor skunk #1 drying in the herb drying box with built in carbon filter. (I know i’m gonna get questions about this.EBAY – 9.99) It dries everything slowly in about 5-7 days and the carbon filter almost eliminates all the smell.I keep it in my basement bathroom to cover up the seeping vapors and to muffle the fan noise.I could just hang dry it but this time of year its too cold to hang in the garage so I use this.Hang drying in the house around the holidays is not recommended.Somebody is always “popping in” for a visit.(“Mother in Law,ect…”)lol!
