A
capo (short for capodastra) is a device used for shortening the
strings, and hence raising the pitch, of a stringed instrument
such as a guitar, mandolin or banjo. 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.
