Abstract
A capo (10) suitable for a twelve string guitar, where string pairs of different gauges are used. The capo (10) includes a clamp arm (11) with a contact surface (12) for contacting the strings that includes a plurality of inclined portions (18) relative to a lateral extent of the clamp arm (11). The nature of the inclined portions (18) is such that adjacent strings (1st to 6th) of different gauges can be contacted with relatively even pressure upon the fingerboard (21).
