What is a "fret"?
A fret is a small, raised strip found on the neck of stringed instruments like guitars, basses, and mandolins. Frets are usually made of metal and are placed at specific distances along the neck. Pressing a string down behind a fret changes the vibrating length of the string, which then changes the pitch of the note. Frets help musicians play notes accurately and easily, providing a clear guide for finger placement.
