How to make a capo for dobro, weissenborn or lap steel guitars

[Jean Pierre]

(excuse my poor english but i think that you will understand easily

The action of strings on Dobro, lap steel, Weissenborn is rather high, it is thus necessary to compensate for this height
They exists capo for this type of guitars but it is generally rather expensive

For a rare, occasional use, here is a sheap solution :

buy a nut of head, in bone rather at a luthier shop  here in my case it was  THOMANN

the nut cost me 5 euros. 

 to place it under strings in the place that you want to fret and to place upstream an old capo  as here a Dunlop extended to make round of the neck, we can put so simply a pencil fixed around the neck by an elastic

Look please the pictures in joint pieces

Clever. It's just like a nut riser for a round neck.
