Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
Bugchu is a stringed instrument made of dried gourd (Ghia). A piece of skin is mounted on one side of the hollowed gourd while the other side is kept open. A gut string (Tand) is crossed through the centre of the skin and a small piece of wood is tied to the end of the string, which passes through the body of the gourd. While playing, the string of this instrument is stretched or loosened to maintain a drum-like rhythm.
