ABSTRACT:
A capotasto having a force plate of a length sufficient to overlie two adjacent frets on a stringed instrument's fingerboard. The capotasto's leading edge portion is adapted to press the instrument's strings against a leading fret of two adjacent frets, and the capotasto's trailing edge portion is adapted to press the instrument's strings against the trailing fret of the two adjacent frets. The capotasto's force plate may be flexible in order to generally conform to the curvature or linearity of the instrument's frets when the capotasto is clamped in place on the adjacent frets.
