Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 306.1 Hz, 28 cents flat of E♭4. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

How to play

Tap it to peel back its skin.

About it

Blueberries are small round berries that grow on bushes; the main cultivated kinds come from North America. A fresh one wears a dusty, pale coat called bloom: a thin layer of wax the berry makes to protect itself. At the bottom sits a little five-pointed crown, the leftover end of the flower.

Tap it and the dark skin peels back toward you in five strips to show the pale green flesh, then closes again. Almost all the blue is in the skin; the inside of most blueberries is pale.
