Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 547.1 Hz, 77 cents sharp 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

A kite is a light frame covered with paper or cloth that flies on the wind at the end of a long line. The wind pushing under the tilted kite lifts it up, and a tail helps keep it pointing the right way. Kites were first flown in China more than 2,000 years ago.

Tap it for a big gust: the kite climbs around a loop, turning once while it rises, and its tail whips behind it. The line stays tied on the whole time. Pick its two colors in the Splash tab. With ✋ Hands-on on, drag the kite or its line: the kite swoops back up into the wind, its tail flapping.
