Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 535.3 Hz, 39 cents sharp of C5. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it

A flying disc is a plastic disc with a curled rim, thrown with a flick of the wrist. It flies like a spinning wing: its curved shape makes the air lift it, and its spin keeps it flat and steady, just as a spinning top stays upright.

Tap it to throw it: it spins fast and flat, tilts into a curve and glides around a loop, like a throw that comes back to you, then settles in its place. Pick its color in the Splash tab. The first plastic flying discs were sold in the late 1940s.
