Dunlop Trigger Capo 83CN — Acoustic Curved, Nickel
The Dunlop 83CN is the nickel-finish version of the original Trigger acoustic curved capo. Its spring-loaded clamp is designed for quick, one-handed placement on compatible curved-radius guitar fretboards. Unlike a screw-adjusted capo, this version uses fixed spring pressure for fast position changes.
How It Works
Squeeze the handles to open the clamp, place it immediately behind the required fret and release evenly across the strings. The lightweight aluminium body keeps the profile slim, while padded contact surfaces protect the neck and fingerboard from direct metal contact. Proper alignment is important: placing any capo too far from the fret or at an angle may cause buzzing or pull the tuning sharp.

Which Dunlop Capo Should You Choose?
The 83CN has the original Trigger mechanism; the later Trigger Fly 63 series uses a revised ergonomic grip and spring-pressure design. A curved capo should not be assumed suitable for a flat classical nylon-string fingerboard: check the guitar’s fretboard radius. Choose the Nickel finish for appearance; its basic function is shared with 83CG, 83CB and 83CN.
