The sarod is a short-necked, fretless plucked lute from North India... The sarod has a wooden body, usually made of teak, with a parchment sound table, and a small secondary resonator at the top of the neck. An unusual feature of the sarod is that the neck is covered with a sheet of smooth, polished metal. As there are no frets on the sarod, the subtle pitch inflections central to Indian music are achieved by sliding the finger on the string as it is pressed down on the metal surface. Typically, the sarod has four or five main playing strings, three to five drone and "chikari" strings and up to 16 sympathetic strings. The strings are plucked with a plectrum, which is usually made of coconut shell.  2, record 1, English, - sarod

A substance feature involves the identification of a defined characteristic of a substance used in the construction of the feature. Examples include : the use of pigments, usually in inks, which respond in specific and unusual ways to specific wavelengths of light(which may include infrared or ultraviolet light) or have magnetic or electromagnetic properties; the incorporation into a component of the data page of materials, e. g. fibres or planchettes whose individual size or size distribution conform to a predetermined specification.  1, record 2, English, - substance%20feature

Downlighting is not as unusual as uplighting because the eye is more accustomed to this condition. The primary feature is the ability to create texture patterns on the ground plane by directing the light through foliage or other overhead structures. It also provides a high contrast between upper and lower surfaces of foliage that can sometimes be used to good advantage.  2, record 7, English, - down%2Dlighting
