Capo
A capo (short for capotasto, Italian for "head of fretboard", also called a fret lobster) is a device used for shortening the strings, and hence raising the pitch, of a stringed instrument such as a guitarmandolin or banjo. It was invented by the Flamenco guitarist Jose Patino Gonzalez[1]. There are several different styles of capo available, utilizing 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. Alternative terms are capo d'astro and capodastro, also Italian.
