John,

Hello!

This is the most amazing collection of guitars and such! Do you mind
if I drop by to jam sometime? It's only a 28 hour drive.

I'm guessing that since vegetables do not have a limbic system, they
probably aren't feeling "pain" as we know it, when they become
members of the Vegephone instrument. But do you think they may
perhaps be a little uncomfortable? Looks like you've got four note
polyphony on this instrument. I noticed that with the Medieval tuning
machines, one could possibly fine tune some interesting silent
interval screams out of this arrangement (this is a riot!!!).

Sarn says: Has anyone ever tried to play musical vegetables?

There was a man here in New Zealand I saw on the Paul Holme's show who had
him attach a clarinet reed to the to of cucumbers and marrows and got some
really cool sounds.

It makes me think of that microtonal eggslicer againÂ…
