fingerboard

The fingerboard (also known as a fretboard on fretted instruments) is an important component of most stringed instruments. It is a thin, long strip of material, usually wood, that is laminated to the front of the neck of an instrument. The strings run over the fingerboard, between the nut and bridge.

A fingerboard is a small-scale working replica of a real skateboard. The tiny sidewalk surfboard allows riders to recreate and reproduce skateboarding's core tricks and maneuvers by using their middle and index fingers. A fingerboard features everything a standard-size skateboard has.

synonyms: clavier, piano keyboard.

A thin piece of wood that forms the smooth playing surface on the neck of a stringed musical instrument such as guitar, bass, violin, etc. against which the strings are pressed in playing. It can be fretless, as in the violin family, or fretted, as in guitars, banjos, etc.

In music, a chord diagram (also called a fretboard diagram or fingering diagram) is a diagram indicating the fingering of a chord on fretted string instruments, showing a schematic view of the fretboard with markings for the frets that should be pressed when playing the chord.

Players take turns, proceeding clockwise attempting to shoot all discs of their team colour first and lastly the BLUE decider. Colour of the team is determined by the colour of the first disc pocketed. Player gets another turn if he pockets his own colour. This will continue until he misses a pocket.

Synthetic fingerboards share two traits that affect tone: high density and extreme stiffness. Graphite, phenolic, and other composite fingerboards offer extreme high-end response and note-to-note consistency. Replacing a wood bolt-on neck with a synthetic one usually makes a guitar sound more "hi-fi."

The guitar fretboard or “fingerboard” is the part of the guitar where all of the metal frets are placed. The fretboard is used by holding down the strings against each fret and then either picking or strumming some, or all of the strings.

Fingerboards are used by a range of people, from those using them as toys, to skateboarders and related sports professionals envisioning not only their own skating maneuvers but for others as well.

The distinction between fingerboard and fretboard however is a very easy one to make. Fretboard: A bass guitar that has frets on it. Fingerboard: A bass guitar that has no frets on it. (Note: The above is a Fender Jaco Pastorious Jazz Bass, which has fretlines but not frets, so it is a fretless instrument.)

Each fret represents a new note for each string, but when we come to press our fingers on the fretboard, we actually use the spaces in between the fret wires to create the note, not the wire itself. For example, pick any fret and the space before that is the area that creates the note when applying our fingers.
