Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 473.8 Hz, 128 cents sharp of A4, 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 castle is a fortified residence. Many medieval castles had stone walls and towers; some had moats, while earlier ones were built partly or entirely of wood. The drawbridge across the moat could be pulled up on chains, so the gate was closed off. Castles were small towns inside: kitchens, stables, a hall for feasts and a well for water.

The drawbridge starts up. Tap to lower it, and five small knights march out, the leader carrying a banner; tap again and they march back in and the drawbridge rises. Pick the color of the roofs in the Splash tab.
