Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 890.5 Hz, 79 cents flat of B♭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
A paper plane is a sheet of paper folded into a glider. It has no engine: once thrown, it slowly trades height for speed, and air flowing over its wings holds it up, while the weight at the pointed nose keeps it flying straight. Small folds at the back of the wings can make it climb, dive or turn.
This plane glides and bobs gently in place. Tap it and it does a barrel roll, one full turn around its long middle, while it lifts a little. In the Splash tab, pick the color of the paper, and choose lined paper or plain.
