After each performance, the vegetable instruments (which took several hours to make) were thrown into a large pot of soup or stew for the musicians and audience to "enjoy a second time."

In 2002, Jorg Piringer's new Vienna Vegetable Orchestra, comprising between 10 and 20 players, began performing on instruments made from carved-out carrots, aubergines, pumpkins, and other vegetables. Piringer's instrument? A "gurkaphone" horn made from a hollowed-out cucumber, a bell-pepper bell and a carrot reed.
