I have developed, in conjunction with Proctor and Gamble, a new resonator guitar product. It serves as a capo on the first three frets in the distal position, and on frets 4, 5 and 6 in the proximal position. It is also used to get rid of those pesky dust specks and sebaceous oil accumulations in the hard to reach crevices of the instrument. Of course, oral hygiene is taken care of too on those overnight gigs on the road.

A patent is pending, and exact design and fabrication is considered a trade secret. However, I am offering them for sale at discounted prices for HR members at http://www.cleanupyourmusicdobromouth.com

Hmmm...I've been looking for a similar capo for a lapsteel that I recently bought from Rondo. I believe I have several of these 'capos' that are currently hanging out with the cleaning supplies after their previous use was considered to be worn out....as the patent is only pending I may make a small design change-maybe remove those 'brush parts'-the pesky dust specks and sebaceous oil accumulations in the hard to reach crevices of the instrument part can be in your patent...;)
 
And it actually works pretty well. I filed the top to a V shape, flattened the bottom and filed in a groove to fit over the fret. As the Rondo lap steel doesn't have frets, you wouldn't have to worry about the groove.

In addition to its cleaning duties, the "brush" part acts as a handy handle to help manipulate the device into position. :)
