Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 325.7 Hz, 79 cents sharp of E♭4, 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 rubber duck is a little yellow bath toy that floats. The first ones were made of solid rubber; today most are hollow and made of soft plastic, with a small hole underneath. Squeeze one and the air rushes out through the hole with a squeak, and when you let go it sucks air back in.

Tap it to squeeze it: it squashes, squeaks and hops, then bobs and rocks as if it were floating in the bath, and settles down. Pick its color in the Splash tab.
