ABSTRACT:
A capodastro for stringed musical instruments adapted for use on both flat fingerboards and transversely convex fingerboards, having a bar C adapted to press strings B onto fingerboard F, and means of attachment D around neck A of the instrument, the bar consisting principally of flexible pad H having grooves L1, not visible in FIG. 5, and L2 along its two long vertical faces in which grooves are located the long edges of hollow frame J, one of which long edges, not visible in FIG. 5, is continuous, and the other long edge K is discontinuous. When mounted on a flat fingerboard the continuous edge maintains a straight configuration. On a transversely convex fingerboard the two portions K1 and K2 of the discontinuous edge adopt an angle to each other which is compatible with the maintenance of equal pressure by said pad H over all the strings. The two portions K1 and K2 of the discontinuous edge may be either straight or curved.
