Our darling mothers, dietitians and health experts have over the years emphasised the role of vegetables. But did you know that apart from adding colour to our plates and providing us with all the nutrition, vegetables can be used for musical purposes as well? Industrialist Anand Mahindra recently shared a video of a musician, who transformed a carrot into a clarinet. The video, shared on Saturday, featured an Australian musician, who has been identified as Linsey Pollak. Putting his creativity on display, Pollak drilled a big hole in a carrot. On the sides, he made six holes at an equal distance from each other. Next, he peeled the top layer in order to make it look like a sharp, cylindrical shape. Pollak fitted a white funnel at the bottom and a saxophone's mouthpiece on top. And, voila the clarinet is ready.
