11. Courgette trumpet
As well as being instruments in their own right, carrots provide a useful mouthpiece for larger instruments. Played like a trumpet, covering the holes in this hollow courgette will change the pitch, while the bell pepper on the end amplifies the sound - just like a real trumpet.
