Abstract:
A capotasto C includes a clamp  100  and a lever  400 . The clamp  100  includes a supporting bar  200  and a string pressing bar  300 . The lever  400  is engaged with the supporting bar  200  and with the string pressing bar  300 . In a condition in which the clamp  100  has a neck  1  of a guitar between the supporting bar  200  and the string pressing bar  300 , when the lever  400  is pushed to the neck  1 , the clamp 100 is closed, and a pressing pad  332  of a string pressing part  330  of the clamp  100  presses strings  3  onto a surface  1 a  of the neck  1 . When the lever  400  is pulled out, the clamp  100  is opened by a biasing force of an open spring  120  of the clamp  100 , and the capotasto C can be removed from the neck  1.

Claim (Index 1):
A capotasto to be detachably attached to a neck of a stringed instrument to press strings of the stringed instrument onto a surface of the neck, the capotasto comprising:\n a clamp including a supporting bar and a string pressing bar for holding the neck therebetween, the supporting bar configured to be arranged at a back surface side of the neck, the string pressing bar configured to be arranged at a surface side of the neck and having a string pressing part provided at its neck facing surface, the supporting bar and the string pressing bar being openably and closeably supported via an opening and closing shaft that are mounted to one of the ends thereof, the supporting bar and the string pressing bar having an opening therebetween at the other of the ends thereof in a closed condition; an opening-direction urging member provided to the clamp and urging in a direction to open the clamp; and a clamp opening-and-closing member arranged in a side opposite to the opening of the clamp, the clamp opening-and-closing member elastically engaging with the supporting bar and with the string pressing bar and being slidable on the supporting bar and on the string pressing bar approximately along a width direction of the neck in a condition in which the clamp clamps the neck, wherein when being slid in a direction approaching the opening and closing shaft, the clamp opening-and-closing member closes the clamp against an urging force of the opening-direction urging member and enables clamping of the neck and allowing the string pressing part to continue pressing the surface of the neck, and when being slid in a direction away from the opening and closing shaft, the clamp opening-and-closing member allows the clamp to open by the urging force of the opening-direction urging member.
