A. SAROD is the term for a 25-string fretless lute that features a skin head stretched over a gourd-shaped body.
A Sarod is a 17 to 25-stringed lute-like instrument of India. It is used mainly in Indian classical music.
It has 4 to 5 main strings for playing the melody, 1 or 2 drone strings, 2 chikari strings, and 9 to 11 sympathetic strings.
In twelfth-century West Africa, bronze and terra cotta sculptures was the kind of artwork that artists created for the royal court of life.
B. Stillness would be my best bet, as music that stays still, doesn't really have any flow/contribute anything to the music
