Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 590.8 Hz, 90 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.

About it
The coconut palm grows on warm, sandy coasts all around the tropics. It has no branches: its tall, bendy trunk ends in a crown of giant feathery leaves, called fronds, with the coconuts hanging in bunches beneath them.
Tap it and the crown shakes, and the five coconuts drop one after another, thump into the sand, bounce and roll to a stop; then new green coconuts swell in the crown. A coconut can float, so it can drift across the sea for weeks and sprout on a faraway beach. With ✋ Hands-on on, pull a coconut and it snaps off into your hand; drop it and it bounces and rolls on the sand; reset puts them back.
