Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 1186.8 Hz, 82 cents flat of E♭6, the nearest tine on the comb. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it
A balloon dog is made from one long, thin balloon, twisted into a chain of bubbles and folded into a head, ears, a body, four legs and a tail. Each twist traps the air in its own bubble, so the shape holds.
Tap it and it pops: bits of rubber fly out and fall away. Then the dog blows back up, part by part, until it stands whole again. Pick the color of the balloon in the Splash tab.
