The D'Addario NS Tri-Action Capo in black is a revolutionary capo designed for buzz-free, in-tune performance at any fret. The patent-pending Tri-Action geometry reduces the force required to open and close the capo and applies even tension regardless of neck profile. Combined with the micrometer tension adjustment and direct horizontal pressure, the Tri-Action Capo virtually eliminates pulling the strings side to side and the need to retune during use.

Tri-Action Design Prevents String Pulling

The Tri-Action geometry is a unique, three-point contact design that avoids pulling strings sideways, allowing for accurate intonation up and down the fretboard. The balanced clamping force keeps all strings securely in tune without favoring thicker or thinner strings. This high-performance design provides a buzz-free performance for acoustic and electric guitars with radiused fretboards.

Micrometer Tension Adjustment for a Custom Fit

An adjustable tension screw with a micrometer scale allows for precise tension adjustment based on the guitar's neck size and shape as well as personal playing preference. This custom-fit capability ensures even pressure and solid tuning stability. The tension can be adjusted and readjusted as needed for consistent performance over years of use.

Lightweight Yet Durable Construction

The capo features a lightweight yet durable aluminum construction that adds negligible weight to the neck of the guitar. Aluminum provides high strength-to-weight ratio, so the capo securely clamps strings in place without feeling bulky or affecting the instrument's natural resonance. The minimal mass also makes the capo comfortable for extended playing sessions.

Integrated Pick Holder and Padded Bumper

For convenient storage, an integrated pick holder secures a spare pick to the capo. A padded bumper protects the guitar finish from scratches and dents. All parts are thoughtfully designed to provide comprehensive functionality without compromising tone or playability.
