Capo that was designed to simulate DADGAD tuning on standard tuned guitars, utilizing a patented trigger geometry reducing the force required to open and close the capo while applying even tension regardless of neck profile. Combined with the micrometer tension adjustment and direct horizontal pressure, it virtually eliminates pulling the strings side to side and the need to retune during use. Additionally, the trigger design and lightweight aluminium construction adds no obstruction or noticeable weight to the neck of the instrument. The capo includes an integrated pick holder and an NS Mini/Micro Tuner mounting bracket, allowing user to add tuning capabilities (tuner is sold separately).
