Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 372.7 Hz, 87 cents flat of G4, 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

The oak is a big, broad tree with a thick trunk and wavy-edged leaves, and its seeds are acorns. Oaks grow slowly and can live for hundreds of years. A single old oak is home to hundreds of kinds of insects, birds and other animals.

Tap it and the crown rocks on its trunk, and leaves come loose one by one and flutter down to the grass; then fresh leaves open in their place. In the Splash tab, pick spring, summer, autumn or winter, or a Seed for a different tree. In winter some oaks keep a few dead brown leaves on their twigs, and those are the ones that fall. With ✋ Hands-on on, shake the trunk (a quick back-and-forth drag on it) and the leaves fall and settle on the ground.
