Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 1078.6 Hz, 52 cents sharp of C6, 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 Hanukkah menorah is a candle holder with nine branches, lit during Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights. Hanukkah lasts eight nights, and one more candle is lit each night. The ninth candle, the helper called the shamash, stands apart and is used to light the others. The festival remembers the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem, when, the story says, one day's oil burned for eight days.

The menorah starts with every candle lit. Tap to put them out, and tap again to light them: the helper candle first, then the others one by one.
