ABSTRACT:
A capodastro for stringed musical instruments, has a pressure bar C, and a strap D. Lower face L of bar C has two roughly parallel long edges. Edge I is straight, and edge K is vertically concave. The concavity at edge K complements the maximum convexity normally found transversely on the fingerboards of stringed musical instruments. The longitudinal contour lines of face L increase in curvature gradually from straight edge I to curved edge K. In one version face L is smooth. In a second version face L bears any number of longitudinal ridges M. The lower face L of pressure bar C is thus adapted to press equally on all the strings whether the fingerboard be flat or convex.
