Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 264.7 Hz, 20 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

Water polo is a team game played in a swimming pool, often in water too deep to stand in, so the players tread water the whole time. Its ball is about the size of a soccer ball, with a grippy, bumpy rubber skin so it can be held in one wet hand.

Tap it and it is tossed up and plunges into the water with a splash. Because it is full of air it pops straight back up, then bobs on the surface, sending out rings of ripples that spread and fade.
