Abstract

A capo device for a stringed musical instrument having a series of strings extending along a fretboard with spaced frets, in which each string passes through a bore in an element which is slidable on the string, each element being dimensioned so that when held against the fretboard the element stops the string on which it is mounted at the adjacent fret. The elements and the fretboard have interacting magnetic means capable of holding each element against the fretboard at one of a number of selected positions during the playing of the instrument, while allowing the element to be moved to a stored position when not in use. The stored position is usually between a string nut or zero fret, and a string guide which contacts the strings between the nut or zero fret and tuning pegs for the strings, the elements being movable over the nut or zero fret into the stored position.
