Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 396.2 Hz, 18 cents sharp of G4. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it
A paper lantern is a light made of thin paper stretched over a frame of ribs, glowing from a light inside. In China and many other places, red lanterns stand for luck and happiness, and thousands are hung up for the Lantern Festival, which ends the Lunar New Year celebrations on the first full moon of the year.
Tap it and it swings on its string like a pendulum, back and forth, slowing a little on each swing until it hangs still again. Tap while it swings to give it another push. Pick a red, gold, teal or purple lantern in the Splash tab. With ✋ Hands-on on, push the lantern: it swings on its string like a pendulum and settles hanging straight.
