How would you like to tune a piano after these pieces have been played?  
Get out the Clingwrap!

This piece is performed by 2 duet partners (at 1 piano) and 4 green 
bananas (not peeled!)

http://people.nnu.edu/wdhughes/CantaloupeDuet.mid
This piece is performed by 2 duet partners (at 1 piano) and 4 oranges, 
one in each hand. The secondo player also plays the "cantaloupe" which 
rests on the bottom few black notes of the piano (how many depends on 
the size of the particular cantaloupe). The secondo player must not only 
play his/her 2 orange parts, but must also periodically pick-up and 
"drop" the cantaloupe (with sufficient exactitude that the cantaloupe 
does not fall off the keyboard).
