ABSTRACT:
A fingerboard for plucked and stringed instruments comprises transversely extending frets for altering the pitch of strings which are tightened over the length of the fingerboard. The frets are divided up in the region in which the individual strings are tightened across them into fret elements which are adjustable in the longitudinal direction of the strings on the fingerboard. Structural sections in which the fret elements are individually displaceable over a large area are inserted in the fingerboard so as to extend continuously over substantially the entire length of the fingerboard and parallel to the strings. The fret elements are, furthermore, held by frictional connection in the structural sections in such a way that they are infinitely displaceable only by intentional, external force acting in the longitudinal direction of the structural sections.
