Abstract

A curvature adaption mechanism to be incorporated with a capo (10) for use with a guitar includes a cam surface (16, 17, 19) and associated cam follower surface (12) located behind a string contact surface (11). A curvature of the guitar fingerboard and strings can be adopted by the string contact surface (11) by virtue of cams engaging and providing a feedback force (D).
