Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 482.1 Hz, 58 cents sharp of B♭4, 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 BMX bicycle, captured from photos and drawn with splats. BMX stands for bicycle motocross: small-wheeled bikes built in the 1970s for racing on dirt tracks, then for jumps and tricks. This one is an old-style frame with plastic mag wheels.
Tap it and the bicycle leans over on its kickstand and rocks back up. Drag to circle it and look at the spokes, the chain and the handlebars.
