Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 418.9 Hz, 85 cents flat 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 soft-boiled egg is cooked in its shell in boiling water for only a few minutes, so the white sets firm but the yolk stays runny. It is served in an egg cup, with strips of toast for dipping into the yolk.

Tap it to crack it open: the top of the shell pops off, and the runny yolk shows and drips down the side. Tap again to put the top back. In the Splash tab, pick a brown or a white shell and the color of the egg cup. The color of a shell depends on the kind of hen that laid it; the egg inside is the same. With ✋ Hands-on on, lift the cracked top off like a cap and set it back on: brought close, it settles home.
