you can't play on a rotten cucumber or on a small pumpkin...
it is hard to play on bad or non-fresh vegetables as
they prove to be unreliable. if instrument breaks just before or during
a solo for example it is often because of low quality vegetable.

Your veggies make delicious sounds, and they sound delicious! Have you
ever tried getting sound out of some form of flesh/meat? I suspect that
would be much more difficult. Bones maybe.

we believe that we can produce sound that cannot be (easily) produced
by other instruments. you can hear the difference. it sometimes
sounds like animals, sometimes just abstract sounds.

I especially enjoyed "vegetable_orchestra_new01.mp3" What was making
that fart noise?
