A fingerboard is the long, flat surface on a stringed musical instrument where the player presses down the strings to change their pitch. Found on instruments such as guitars, violins, and basses, the fingerboard is usually made of wood. Some fingerboards have frets or markers to help the player find the correct positions for different notes, while others, like those on violins and cellos, are fretless. By pressing the strings against the fingerboard, the player shortens their length, which raises the pitch of the notes produced. The design and condition of the fingerboard are important for the instrument's playability and sound quality.
