nut definition and meaning

What is a "nut"?

A nut is a small, typically rectangular piece located at the top of the neck of a stringed instrument, such as a guitar or violin, near the headstock. It supports the strings and helps keep them at the correct height and spacing as they extend from the tuning pegs down the neck to the bridge. The nut ensures that the strings are properly aligned over the fretboard or fingerboard, and its material, which can include bone, plastic, or metal, affects the instrument's tone and playability.
