Claim 6:
7. A capo device for stringed instruments, comprising:
a substantially J-shaped main body having a distal elongate arm and a proximal short arm;
a main arm having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the distal end is pivotally connected to the proximal end of said proximal short arm;
a pivot arm having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein a point adjacent to said distal end is pivotally coupled at a point on the proximal end of said main arm via a linkage, which is configured to selectively engage with a linkage seat on said pivot arm;
a pivot clamp pivotally coupled to the proximal end of a pivot arm at a point substantially at the lateral center point of said pivot clamp;
an elastomeric component pivotally and compressably coupled between a portion of said elongate arm of said J-shaped main body and the proximal end of said pivot arm;
wherein when said main arm is pivoted such that said main arm is in a first configuration relative to said pivot arm, said pivot arm is at a prescribed distance from said main body; and
wherein when said main arm is pivoted such that said main arm is in a second configuration relative to said pivot arm, said pivot arm is biased via said spring toward a second position wherein said pivot arm is closer to said main body than said prescribed distance.
