Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 589.2 Hz, 94 cents flat 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 for a ripple and a small hop; drag to turn it.

About it

A muscle car from 1970, built for the high-speed oval and sold to the public so it could race. Its long nose cone and tall rear wing were shaped in a wind tunnel: the nose slips through the air, and the wing sits up high in clean air to press the tail down.

Tap it and a ripple runs over the car as it hops. Drag to circle it and look at the wing, the long nose cone, and the wheels.
