Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 334.2 Hz, 24 cents sharp of E4. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it

A snow globe is a glass ball filled with water, with a little winter scene inside and white flakes that settle on the ground. Shake it and the flakes swirl up, then drift down slowly, because the water holds them back, like snow on a calm day.

This one holds a snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose, next to a snowy fir tree, and gentle snow falls all the time. Tap it to shake the globe: it wobbles, the snow swirls up and around, then settles. You can pick the color of the base in the Splash tab.
