I like this wedge idea. The only place I need a capo is on the trompette and I have an historic, so fancy new harp levers (which I'm quite familiar with, as 3 of my 5 harps have levers) would look odd. Could some sort of footing on the bottom of the wedge be helpfufl? Not sure what, but something that adds friction, my mind just went to a little square of silicon. Don't know if that's available, maybe something painted on? How about rosin?
