capos

Guitar pitch shifters

Capos is the plural of capo, which has two distinct meanings.

In organized crime, a capo is a captain—a mid-level boss who commands a crew of soldiers: The capos reported directly to the don.

In music, a capo is a clamp placed across a guitar's fretboard to raise the pitch of all strings: She put a capo on the second fret.
