Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 599.6 Hz, 36 cents sharp of D5. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it

An umbrella is a folding shade of cloth stretched over thin metal ribs, held up on a stick. When it opens, a sliding ring pushes little struts that spread the ribs out, and the cloth pulls tight to keep off the rain or the sun. People in ancient Egypt, China and Greece used umbrellas as sunshades thousands of years ago.

The umbrella starts open. Tap to close it, folding the ribs down along the stick, and tap again to open it. Pick a rainbow, striped or plain canopy and its color in the Splash tab. With ✋ Hands-on on, slide the runner, the sleeve on the stick under the canopy, down to fold the umbrella and up to open it; at the top it clicks into its catch.
