Marble Bust

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 547.4 Hz, 78 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.

Tap it to make it turn and say hello in Latin.

A bust is a statue of a person's head, neck and shoulders. The ancient Romans carved many busts of emperors, leaders and families in marble, a stone that is soft enough to carve but polishes to a smooth, pale shine.

Tap it and the head turns on its neck to look at you, the jaw moves with each syllable, and a speech bubble says "SALVE, AMICE!": Latin for "Hello, friend!" Latin was the language of ancient Rome, and many English words grew from it.
