Field notes
The fretboard demo lets visitors choose four, five or six strings, then tap a string at a fret or drag across the display to strum. The buying lists separate models into practical categories, including price caps, string counts and multiscale designs; the timeline also explains how the Yamaha BX-1’s clamping system avoided a dedicated string format.
