ABSTRACT:
An improved capo for fretted stringed instruments has a pressure bar with a series of threaded bores which are arranged transverse to the length of the instrument strings. Individual adjusting screws received within the bores compensate for variations in diameter of the strings. Rotatable pads on the adjusting screw lower ends remain stationary once a string is contacted while allowing the adjusting screw to continue to turn and tighten on the string.
