Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 264.6 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 bowling ball is a heavy ball with three finger holes, rolled down a long wooden or plastic lane at ten pins. The heaviest balls allowed weigh 16 pounds (about 7 kilograms).
Tap it to bowl it: it drops onto the lane with a thud, rolls away straight and then hooks across, the finger holes turning over as it goes; the pins crash far off, and it rolls back home. Good bowlers spin the ball so it curves into the pins from the side, which knocks down more of them. Pick its two colors in the Splash tab.
