A capo device for a stringed musical instrument having a series of strings extending along a fretboard with spaced frets, in which each string passes through a bore in an element which is slidable on the string, each element being dimensioned so that when held against the fretboard the element stops the string on which it is mounted at the adjacent fret. The elements and the fretboard have interacting magnetic means capable of holding each element against the fretboard at one of a number of selected positions during the playing of the instrument, while allowing the element to be moved to a stored position when not in use. The stored position is usually between a string nut or zero fret, and a string guide which contacts the strings between the nut or zero fret and tuning pegs for the strings, the elements being movable over the nut or zero fret into the stored position.

Capodastre pour instruments de musique à cordes ayant une série de cordes se prolongeant le long de la touche dotée de frettes espacées. Les cordes de l'instrument sont enfilées dans l'orifice d'une pièce percée pouvant se déplacer sur la corde. Chaque pièce percée est proportionnée afin que, lorsqu'elle est maintenue contre la touche, elle arrête, au niveau de la frette voisine, la corde sur laquelle elle est montée. Les pièces percées et la touche comprennent des aimants correspondants capables de tenir chaque élément contre la touche dans une des différentes positions sélectionnées pendant que joue le musicien. Ce dernier peut déplacer les pièces percées et les mettre en position de rangement lorsqu'il n'en a pas besoin. La position de rangement se trouve habituellement entre le sillet ou frette zéro et un guide-corde, qui entre en contact avec les cordes entre le sillet et les chevilles. Les pièces percées peuvent être déplacées par-dessus le sillet pour atteindre la position de rangement.
