## Overview

The D’Addario NS Tri-Action Capo is a premium, aircraft-grade aluminum capo designed for 6-string electric and acoustic guitars. Featuring micrometer tension adjustment and patented Tri-Action geometry, it delivers buzz-free, in-tune performance with minimal effort. Lightweight and durable, it includes a convenient integrated pick holder and clamps easily with one hand, making it a must-have for touring pros and serious players alike.

## 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: Best capo I have used in lots of years playing 6, 9 and 12 string acoustics. - This is my new favorite capo. I have played a lot of years. I regularly use capo's from several other makers I like a lot. All of them have some issue that makes them useful on only some of my guitars. This is the first one I have used that has worked on ALL my 6, 9 and 12 string acoustic guitars while keeping tuning stable, particularly on the 12 string. That is due to the multi-density string pad. It also is completely adjustable for string pressure and has a large range of neck sizes it will work on. Tone is clear and remains stable when properly adjusted to the guitar and fret position. Infinitely adjustable within its range with the thumb screw adjustment. I have paid a lot more for crappy capos I didn't use. This is a great value for the price.
Review: Great little capo - It's a nice little capo. It's so small and it works. As a brand new ukulele player I have no idea how to use this thing but it works nothing broken nothing scratched awesome little product. Any part where it contacts your ukulele is covered in soft rubber so you don't need to worry about damaging anything. It is also adjustable with thumb screw so tighten it to your desired fit. Unfortunately I managed to clamp it to a cylinder and am unable to remove it. I cannot take pictures of it at this time. send help please.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work on a 12 string guitar**
A: Don't know what 12 string guitars the other answers refer to but I play almost exclusively twelve string acoustics, and this works for me at least up to the 7th fret (that's as high as I use it). 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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Actually does what it says.
*by D***H on October 18, 2025*

I wanted so much for all the hype about this capo to be true. 30 bucks is a little much to spend on something that might not work. To my relief and surprise this little aluminum capo works very well on any fret without buzz or need for retuning. I play a slope shoulder acoustic with an Adirondack top that sounds amazing with this capo. I don’t have much experience with other capos, except my Kyser spring clamp style that pulls the low E string sharp.its going in a drawer,or to goodwill. Daddario makes good stuff. The XS strings and this pro plus capo are both worth the money. A word of caution,this capo is small and light and would be easy to lose so keep it in a special place.not your shirt pocket. Despite its lightness and small size it seems well made and should last a long time.
