Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 382.0 Hz, 45 cents flat 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 shuttlecock, or shuttle, is used in badminton instead of a ball. It has a rounded cork base with a skirt of 16 feathers, or a plastic skirt. The skirt drags on the air, so the shuttle always turns to fly cork first and slows down quickly.
Tap it and it is hit up: it flips over cork first and flies up spinning, turns over at the top and floats back down cork first, spinning slower as it falls. Even so, a hard smash can send a shuttle off the racket faster than 400 kilometers (250 miles) an hour.
