    • A capo tasto or head stop suitable for any stringed instrument is capable of holding notes or chord shapes independent of the player, said note selection being set beforehand by the player for a given piece of music. A bar 1 is held firmly across the neck of the instrument by a collar around the rear of the instrument neck. The bar is positioned by means of two flexible jaws 7 that allow for placement at different positions along the instrument neck. By the provision of a lug or step 8 positioned on each flexible jaw, the bar is maintained clear of the fingerboard to prevent contact between bar and strings. The bar is furnished with arms 4 fitted with pressure pads 5 that can move laterally through the bar to both left and right thus depressing strings across a plurality of semitones, thus making it possible to hold down individual strings across a range of note or fret positions whilst still allowing the musician access to all other possible finger positions on the fingerboard. The present invention is not limited to a fretted instrument, nor is it limited to operating across one fret alone, but is capable of spanning several frets, or intervals in the case of fretless instruments. It is also capable of attachment to stringed instruments fitted with pairs of strings such as twelve-string guitar or mandolin. The invention can be applied to instrument necks of differing shapes and sizes, from e.g. a mandolin to a double bass.
