Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 369.7 Hz, 99 cents sharp of F4, 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.

Tap it to squeeze it.
About it
The rubber duck is a bath toy: a hollow yellow duck that floats. Squeeze it and air rushes out through a tiny hole in its base, which often holds a small whistle that squeaks.
Tap it and it squeezes flat with a high squeak, then springs back up taller, wobbles and settles. Most bath ducks today are made of soft plastic rather than real rubber, but the name has stuck.
