D’Addario has expanded its capo line, offering three options for guitarists. Two models based on the NS Artist Capo simulate DADGAD and Drop D tunings on standard-tuned guitars. The Classical model is for flat-radiused classical/nylon-string guitars. Each capo utilizes 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, the capo design for each new model virtually eliminates pulling the strings side to side and the need to retune during use. Additionally, the trigger design and lightweight aluminum construction add no obstruction or noticeable weight to the neck of the instrument. D’Addario, 631.439.3300, planetwaves.com, Booth #4834.
