A simple device that clamps on an instrument neck to raise the pitch of all the strings at once.
a device clamped to the strings with a screw, elastic or spring mechanism. It holds the strings across any of the lower fret positions enabling open strings on higher fret positions to be played. They also lower the action.
A clamp that puts a barre across the strings and makes the guitar's scale shorter, Raising the pitch of familiar chord fingering.
a clamp that fits on the fingerboard to make it easier to play in different keys without having to change chord forms
a clamp that fits on the fingerboard to make it easier to play in keys like A without retuning
a contraption that barres across all your strings
a device for clamping all the strings at a particular fret, changing their pitch
a device that allows you so move the nut of your guitar around
a device that can be fitter over the fingerboard behind any fret
a device that clamps down across the guitar's fingerboard at a particular fret
a device that clamps over the upper neck of a guitar at your fret of choice so you can play a higher range of chords easily for a song than the tuning of the guitar will quickly allow (or the strength of the strings, in some cases)
a great little tool for beginners and professionals alike

A clamp that holds down all the strings on a given fret.
A mechanical barre that attaches to the neck of a guitar by means of a string, spring, elastic or nylon band, or a lever and thumbscrew arrangement. The capo can be used to raise the key of a song to suit a vocalist as well as to lower the action and shorten the string length.
a device temporarily clamped to the fretboard to "barre" the strings across any of the lower fret positions, thus creating "open" strings on higher fret positions and enabling the performer to play in different keys. Capos come in all types and configurations (some are adjustable to barre only certain strings). Using one also lowers the action and sometimes affects intonation.
A capo is a mechanical device that places a barre across the strings which as the effect of shortening the guitar's scale and thus raising its pitch. Huh? Basically we're talking about a clamp that puts a barre across the strings and makes the guitar's scale shorter. The effect is that you can play your familiar open chords (i.e., the basic "C", "D", "G", etc. chords you learned as a beginner) but now they're higher in pitch so you're playing in a different key.
