What is a "capstan"?

A capstan is a cylindrical device used on some musical instruments to adjust the tension of the strings. It is often found on instruments like harpsichords and pianos. By turning the capstan, the musician can precisely tune the strings, which helps in maintaining proper pitch and tuning. The capstan usually works by pressing or pulling the strings through a mechanism that adjusts their tension.
