Fingerboards
Fingerboards are essential wooden components of bowed string instruments such as violins, violas, cellos, and double basses. They provide the surface where the musician presses the strings to change pitch and play different notes. Typically made from high-quality ebony or rosewood, fingerboards must be durable, smooth, and precisely crafted to ensure excellent playability and sound transmission.
