Tasty ukulele (no cookie monsters involved)

[charangohabsburg]

This has nothing to do with the cookie monster's ukulele (sesame street).

These are the digitalised leftovers of one of my latest fun projects (two weeks ago):



Materials

Body: pan-fried aubergine
Bridge: raw chillies (not too sharp or you will have intonation problems)
Strings: zucchini strips (sauté), stretched with Photoshop
Neck: with Photoshop cut out ukulele neck
Glue: Photoshop
Varnish: unsharp mask in Photoshop

Sound sample: miam! (non edible neck & tuners)
Lifespan of the instrument: ca. 20 minutes

Nice one Markus, your handy with that photoshop.
I'm sitting here with one of my children and he looks up and spots the edible instrument and says

" Woa! whats that, some kind of old as guitar ?? "

I'm thinking how do I explain this ?? as I'm laughing

Heston Blumenthal and his diners would be very proud of that dish Markus

Glad you liked it!

Thank you Steve. Certainly you are right: only few cooks know how to deal with Photoshop!

No cheese?????

Well I didn't mention it and of course you can't see it, but between the bridge and the neck, beneath the strings there is an original Swiss cheese hole (one of these here).

That reaction honours me.
