Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 267.8 Hz, 40 cents sharp of C4. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it

A squash ball is a small, hollow rubber ball that hardly bounces when it is cold. Players hit it against the walls of the court for a few minutes to warm it up: as the rubber and the air inside warm, the ball gets bouncier. The ball for the best players has two yellow dots and is the least bouncy of all.

Tap it and see: cold, it is dropped and barely bounces. Hit over and over, it warms, glows faintly and bounces higher and faster. Left alone, it bounces out and cools again.
