Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 679.0 Hz, 51 cents sharp 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
The Eiffel Tower is an iron lattice tower in Paris, built by the engineer Gustave Eiffel's company for the World's Fair of 1889. It is about 330 meters (1,083 feet) tall, and it was the tallest structure in the world until 1930.
Tap it for a night show: the ironwork lights up gold, sparkling white lights climb the tower, and four fireworks burst around it. The real tower sparkles like this for five minutes every hour after dark.
