Homonym: Capos (Capo)
A capo is a device used on stringed instruments, particularly guitars, to change the pitch of the strings. It clamps down across the fretboard, allowing musicians to play in different keys without changing finger positions. This makes it easier to play songs in various styles and can enhance the sound by creating a brighter tone.
Capos come in various designs, including spring-loaded and adjustable types, catering to different playing preferences. They are popular among many musicians, including singer-songwriters and folk artists, as they provide versatility and creativity in songwriting and performance.
