Made from aircraft-grade aluminum, it offers a lightweight yet durable design with easy one-handed operation and an integrated pick holder, making it a must-have for professional and touring musicians seeking precision and convenience. ## Description The patented Tri-Action Capo reduces the force required to open and close this high quality guitar 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. The sleek aircraft grade aluminum construction of this premium capo can withstand the toughest playing/touring schedule while adding negligible additional weight or obstruction to the instrument. Also available in silver. Review: Great capo, one of the better ones I've had. - The squeeze action on this thing is incredibly smooth and takes almost zero effort. But the real game-changer is the tension dial. You just tweak it until the string buzz stops, and it applies exactly the right amount of pressure without pulling your strings sharp. It saves me so much time since I don't have to constantly retune every time I move it. It's also made of aluminum, so it feels super sturdy but is shockingly lightweight and it doesn't make the guitar feel neck-heavy at all when I'm playing standing up. It's an awesome, reliable tool. Totally worth the money. Review: Solid quick-change capo with tension adjustment - Capos tend to hold up well over time for me, so this is the first one I've bought in ages. It replaces a Kyser quick-change style that did just fine, but I never loved the way it looked. This style tucks itself away underneath the neck of the guitar and still stays out of the way. The build quality is excellent and I love the fact that you can adjust the tension like you can with higher-end capos. Finally, you can pop it on and off just as easy as my trusty Kyser. Would recommend. ## Features - HIGH PERFORMANCE: Micrometer tension adjustment on the black Tri-Action Capo ensures proper force on the guitar neck for buzz-free, in-tune performance at any fret. Tri-Action geometry reduces force needed to operate and applies even tension - DESIGNED FOR: Designed for use on 6-string electric and acoustic guitars - STRONG, DURABLE: The NS Tri-Action Capo is constructed from aircraft grade aluminum making it rugged enough to take a beating, but very lightweight on the fretboard. It adds negligible weight to the neck of the instrument - EASY TO USE: The single hand, easy to operate Tri-Action Capo clamps to the headstock when not in use. An integrated pick holder stores your pick in a convenient location when playing fingerstyle ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008BPI3AA | | Best Sellers Rank | #203 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #7 in Guitar Capos | | Body Material Type | Aluminum | | Brand | D'Addario | | Brand Name | D'Addario | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 6,050 Reviews | | Finish Type | Glossy | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00019954971151 | | Grip Material | Aluminum | | Instrument | Acoustic Guitar | | Item Dimensions | 5.9 x 0.4 x 7 inches | | Item Highlight | D'Addario capos provide secure, buzz-free performance, precise tension control and easy one-handed operation. | | Item Type Name | Integrated Pick Holder | | Item Weight | 9.07 g | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 5.9 x 0.4 x 7 inches | | Manufacturer | D'Addario &Co.

As someone else says, it's 2.25" wide, so that is the limiting factor. Sure, as with all capo's on 12 strings, you need to have enough tension to pull down the big fat low E far enough that the octave string next to it is also pulled down, which does result in excessive bending of the low E. But at least with this capo you can dial that in. I've always used a fixed tension capo in the past that presses far too hard on the strings and pulls the strings too far out of tune. This capo is much, much better! **Q: Sorry… i know this is likely a silly question. but… what does the “ns” stand for?** A: NS Aluminium is a fully integrated manufacturer of aluminium profiles in Sri Lanka since 1986. I think it refers to the type of aluminum in Capo. Buy it anyway before they get on the terrorist list of "no sells" Interesting question. You stirred my brain early in the morning. **Q: Does this capo work for nylon string "classical" guitars with the wider necks?** A: This specific model is designed for guitars with a radiused fretboard. Planet Waves D'Addario also makes a classical guitar version that fits them correctly with their completely flat fretboards. I have one for my classical guitar and highly recommend it. **Q: Does the tri-action capo do Drop-D tuning?** A: Hi Im an acoustic guitar tech and touring musician. I don't completely understand the question,since the tuning is based on the guitar strings be set to "drop D" nothing to do with the capo.If you set your guitar to lowering the E string to a D( which is drop D) putting the capo on the 2nd fret will give you the same effect but just on a higher pitch.It would then be drop E tuning,fourth fret drop F tuning etc...the capo is great and can handle any tuning to set the guitar at.If you want a drop D tuning( in actual pitch if D while using a capo,youd have to tune down the guitar a whole step then lower the D 6th string to a C and put the capo on the second fret..Hope this wasnt to complicated.Short answer: Yes Good luck ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great capo, one of the better ones I've had. *by C***M on June 2, 2026* The squeeze action on this thing is incredibly smooth and takes almost zero effort.

The three others were two different ones I bought separately years ago, one even has a date stamped from the factory....So like it's basically where they figure it will lose its spring strength over time....I have another similar one....Both have lost the strength to work without buzz...one other Capo came in a "guitar bundle" That was my go to but I felt it isn't the right tension anymore....So I don't like the fact they lose tension over time and I was looking for something sturdier....Something where I am not limited to the strength of the spring or hinge....Since they seem to basically be disposable as they wear out....I found this....The material it is made of is impressive....(the other capos are all plastic and have a hinge, the hinge is spring loaded....They wear out....) Then again The Capos I have were not expensive, they were basically budget Capos, less than $10 and the one that came in a guitar bundle was better made but still it too is breaking down....I also noticed there are grooves worn into my other 3 capos....Where the strings push into the Capo's "rubber" strip that presses down on the strings....So that was a problem since they didn't adequately press the strings, on top of the spring loaded hinges have lost strength foo....So This one seems built to last....It kind of has basically a rubber coating on the whole thing, plus it's metal so it hopefully won't get string grooves like the others, Plus this having the tension adjustment "spring" where you turn the little piece on the end to tighten or loosen the tension....Which eliminates the whole problem with the others I have....You can adjust it so it's just right, just exactly what level of tension you need.....Also I tried an experiment, I put my finger in the middle and tightened it up...To see how it holds....It looks in the tension right now you want it and holds it....You squeeze the parts on the back of it to remove it....But the tension of it against the strings stays where you set it, rather than it just being a hinge that holds it. If seems like it will last quite a while too....The tension adjust part of it is great. I recommend this....Spend a little more and get this which will last a lot longer than the economy types....This is great especially if you have buzzing issues with the cheap Capos....The tension adjuster part is really worth the extra money spent. ## Frequently Bought Together - D’Addario NS Tri-Action Capo, Black – For 6-String Electric and Acoustic Guitars – Micrometer Tension Adjustment for Buzz-Free, In-Tune Performance - Single Hand Use – Integrated Pick Holder - D'Addario Accessories Pro-Winder Guitar String Winder, Cutter, Bridge Pin Puller - All in One Guitar Tool - Black - D'Addario Accessories Guitar Tuner - Eclipse Headstock Tuner - Clip On Tuner for Guitar - Great for Acoustic Guitars & Electric Guitars - Quick & Accurate Tuning - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/1867556-ns-tri-action-guitar-capo-black-daddario-capos-provide-secure](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/1867556-ns-tri-action-guitar-capo-black-daddario-capos-provide-secure) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
