Description

A fret is any of the thin strips of material, usually metal wire, inserted laterally at specific positions along the neck or fretboard of a stringed instrument. Frets usually extend across the full width of the neck. On some historical instruments and non-European instruments, frets are made of pieces of string tied around the neck.

परदा (fret) तंतुवाद्यों के तनों या अन्य ढांचों पर बनी उन धातु, लकड़ी या प्लास्टिक की उन उभरी लकीरों को कहते हैं जिनपर दबाने से किसी बजाये जाने वाले तार का सुर बदल जाता है। आमतौर से सितार में १३, १६ या १९ परदे रहते हैं और अन्य वाद्यों में भी इनकी अलग-अलग संख्याएँ निर्धारित रहती हैं।
