Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 505.3 Hz, 60 cents flat of C5, 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
Cochem Imperial Castle, high above the Moselle river in Germany, captured by a drone from many photos and drawn with splats. French troops blew it up in 1689. It stood in ruins until a Berlin businessman bought it in 1868 and rebuilt it in a new Gothic style, with towers and turrets.
Tap it and a ripple runs over the hill as it hops. Drag to circle it and look at the vineyard terraces on the slope and the castle's towers.
