Romex with ground wires was the industry standard by then (assuming you’re in the US), but there were some places that held onto knob and tube. What country and what’s the closest city?
WHAT DOES “NGD” stand for in the title.? (I googled it and “new guitar day” came up. )
It appears to me that you have a 100 A panel from the photo and it looks pretty full. As for buzzing and ka pow’s you may be overloading your panel or there is a loose ground. I would get an electrician. Maybe the electrician can put your music room on another circuit with less draw.
