The patented Dont Fret Finger Position Indicator is a decal which applies to the fingerboards of string instruments and which shows beginning students where to put their fingers. Twelve colored lines are arranged in a scale pattern and indicate the notes of the first octave above the open string. Dont Fret is mathematically designed and is precision-printed on vinyl, with an overlay of transparent ink for durability. Guidelines are printed to help properly align the Dont Fret on the fingerboard. In classes the Dont Fret has lasted more than one year. The decal removes absolutely cleanly from the instrument.
