Press a steel tooth, then let go.

This page is a music box. Each of these 460 3D toys rings at the note of its own outline. Scroll, and the paper runs through the comb and plays them. Turn, poke, and paint them in the Playground.

All 29 strips

460 toys, 29 shelves, one comb

72 captures of real things, 388 built from recipes, and 4 generated shapes. Each shelf is a strip of paper, and each toy is a hole punched in it.

Every outline is a drumhead. Splashery stretches one over each Splash's picture, finds the ways it can ring, and gives it the comb's nearest tine. Nobody chose the notes, and nobody wrote the tunes: a shelf plays in the order it stands.
