Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 650.7 Hz, 77 cents sharp of E♭5, 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.

How to play

Tap it to make it hop and light its lantern.

About it

Garden gnomes are little statues of bearded men in pointed hats, set among the flowers to look after the garden. In old European tales, gnomes were small, shy folk who lived underground and guarded treasure. The first garden gnomes were made of clay in Germany in the 1800s.

Tap it and the gnome gives a little hop, and the lantern in its hand lights up with a warm glow, then goes out again. This one wears the classic outfit: a red cap, a white beard and a belt around a green shirt.
