Hosco Fret Wire 1.10mm (18% Nickel-Silver)

[Hosco pražcový drôt]

This high-quality fret wire from the Japanese manufacturer Hosco is a specialized component designed for instruments requiring extremely fine and narrow fretting. It is made from a traditional nickel-silver alloy with a high hardness of 18% (Extra Hard), ensuring increased wear resistance even with such a subtle profile.

Given the crown width of 1.10 mm, this is one of the narrowest fret wires on the market. This size is typical for mandolins, ukuleles, banjos, or specific historical reconstructions of stringed instruments, where a discreet appearance and precise intonation with minimal string-to-fret contact are required.
