Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 264.7 Hz, 20 cents sharp of C4. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it

A bouncy ball is a small ball of very springy, hard rubber. It gives back almost all the energy of each bounce, so it can bounce nearly as high as it was dropped from. The first ones of this kind were made in the 1960s by a chemist experimenting with new rubbers.

Tap it and it is thrown down hard: it ricochets all over the floor, keeping nearly all its speed, its spin flipping at every bounce, then comes home and settles. Pick its three colors in the Splash tab.
