Pardeh or Fret for Persian Tar, Setar & Baglama

Description

For Persian Tar and Setar, "Pardeh" or frets are crucial components that significantly influence playability and intonation. These thin strips, often made from gut or nylon, are attached to the neck of the instruments and serve as guides for finger placement. Properly placed and crafted frets are essential for achieving accurate pitches and facilitating the musician's ability to produce distinct notes. For Baglama, it's important to note that Baglamas typically have tied-on metal frets, called "perde" in Turkish, which are tied around the neck in a movable fashion. These movable frets allow for flexibility in adjusting the pitch and are commonly used in various Turkish stringed instruments. When choosing frets or pardeh for your Persian Tar, Setar, or Baglama, consider the quality of the material and their placement on the instrument's neck. High-quality frets contribute to better playability and accuracy in producing notes, enhancing your overall playing experience.
