Capo Zefirio (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) |
 | | A capo (short for capo tasto) is a device used for shortening the strings, and hence raising the pitch, of a stringed instrument such as a guitar or a banjo. |
| | There are several different styles of capo available, utilising a range of mechanisms, but most use a rubber-covered bar to hold down the strings, fastened with a strip of elastic or nylon, a cam-operated metal clamp, or another device. |
| | Therefore the use of a capo is as much a matter of artistic expression as of technical expediency. |
