Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 488.4 Hz, 81 cents sharp of B♭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

Tomatoes are the fruit of a plant that first grew wild in western South America. They are cooked and eaten like vegetables, but to a botanist a tomato is a berry: a juicy fruit that grows from a flower and holds many seeds.

Tap it and the plate gives a little shake: a wave of small hops runs around it, and the tomatoes land in four groups, rock outward and settle with a wobble. There are thousands of kinds of tomato, from tiny cherry tomatoes to ones bigger than a fist, in red, yellow, orange, green and purple. With ✋ Hands-on on, drag any tomato to lift it on its own and set it down on the plate or on another; reset puts them all back.
