Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 625.9 Hz, 90 cents flat of E5, 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

Cherries are small, round fruits that grow on trees, often in pairs whose long stems are joined at the top. Each cherry has one hard stone in the middle with the seed inside, so it is called a stone fruit, like a plum or a peach.

Pull a cherry out on its stem and let go: it swings back and knocks the other one, which swings out in turn, until they settle. Tap it and they swing like a small Newton's cradle, at their real speed: one cherry is flicked out, swings back and knocks the other out, which swings back and knocks the first, with a plink each time, until the swing dies away. A cherry on a stem about 4.5 cm long swings to and fro in under half a second.
