Cool. It's taking the blade of grass trick and turning it into music. I wonder if he will branch out into other vegetation. I'm thinking about taking this up very deciduously. Don't needle me or I'll leaf and pine for that birch that left me. Yew need to support me on this. I'm going out on a limb.
I checked it out on youtube. He's not the only one. Apparently the Hmong people of Laos have been doing this for some time. So say the intertubes, anyway.
I just tried with lettuce, lemon basil, and some other leaf types, and it's very difficult. Every time I get a good tone the leaf splits in two, and I can only get 2 or 3 notes out of the things... I'm giving up and going back to learning harp!
Funny you should ask that because there is a Gene splicing project to make brass grow on trees and plastic also.
