When You Can't Find Your Harmonica: Carrot Flute

I've wanted to make vegetable instruments for some time. I found a couple of links to a carrot flute and a carrot kazoo, but they did not have pictures. So I tried a few different techniques. Here's my recipe for Carrot Flute. I'm providing this in multiple forms. Instructable with pictures, short form instruction video, and long form experiences.

I recommend viewing the short form video, printing the instructable for your work time, then viewing the long form video (so that you can see what I did).

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients for the Flute

You will need:
A drill and bits to make a large and small hole. A 1/2" drill bit and a 15/64" bit worked for me.
Sharp knife
1 or more carrots
Cutting board
Long, narrow tools to take carrot debris out of the hole. E.g. skewer or chopstick.

Step 2: Cut the Leafy End Off of the Carrot.

Using the sharp knife, cut the carrot top off of the carrot. This provides a flat surface that you will drill into.

Step 3: Drill the Main Hole.

Using the 1/2" drill bit, drill a hole that starts at the flat surface of the carrot that you just made, and goes along the length of the carrot. I went about 1/3 of the way into the carrot.

Step 4: Clear the Hole of Debris.

Take out all of the carrot bits, as they will prevent the sound from being clear and sharp. Use a skewer, chopstick, the bit, or anything you can find that will fit down the hole. I used a pen.

Step 5: Make the Smaller Hole.

Hold the carrot in front of you with the carrot top side facing up. You will need to drill a hole, using the smaller bit, a bit down from the top of the carrot. I chose a spot that ended up being about an inch down the side. I've found that if you go too far down, the sound is not very good.
