Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 442.4 Hz, 91 cents flat 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

The weeping willow is a tree whose long, thin branches hang down almost to the ground like a curtain. It loves water and often grows on the banks of rivers and ponds. Its branches are so bendy that people have long woven them into baskets.

The strands sway gently by themselves. Tap it to send a breeze across from the left: the hanging strands swing away with it a curtain at a time, bending most at their tips, then swing back and settle while the crown leans a little. Pick a Seed in the Splash tab for a different tree. With ✋ Hands-on on, brush the hanging branches and they swing after your finger, then sway and settle.
