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 and a string guide which contacts the strings between the nut and tuning pegs for the strings, the elements being movable over the nut into the stored position.

La présente invention a pour objet un contre-sillet pour instrument de musique à cordes tendues le long d'un manche à frettes espacées, dans laquelle chacune des cordes passe à travers un alésage pratiqué dans un élément qui peut coulisser sur la corde, chacun des éléments étant dimensionné de sorte que lorsque maintenu en appui sur la frette, l'élément en question raccourcit la corde sur laquelle il est monté au niveau de la frette adjacente. Les éléments, de même que le manche, son dotés de dispositifs magnétiques dont l'interaction permet de retenir chacun des éléments en appui contre une frette en l'une d'un certain nombre de positions sélectionnées pendant l'utilisation de l'instrument, tout en permettant le déplacement de l'élément vers une position de rangement lorsque non utilisé. La position de rangement se trouve généralement entre un écrou et un guide venant en contact avec les cordes entre l'écrou et les chevilles d'accordement des cordes, les éléments en question pouvant coulisser par-dessus l'écrou vers la position de rangement.
