Capos again

[Steelpickin']

I know that we have discussed capos before but, I just got one of these and I must say I like it as well or better than anything I have used before.
Small, well made and completly unobtrusive. I am thinking of getting one for all of my guitars to keep in there respective cases.Just thought I would pass this on. :|

Cool, Larry. Thanks for the review. I saw an ad for this in the latest AG and it looked very unobtrusive, which appeals to me. I just bought a Kyser capo for my classical while I was out of town. It was all they had in the store. It works well enough but it looks like it could pick up shortwave, too.

I use shubb, kyser, victor and paige capos.
I like them all for different reasons.
The shubb is my facorite for 12 strings.
I like kysers for my 6 strings because of the way they clamp on the head, but they do get in the way at times while being used.
I have a kyser for my 12 string and it's alright but I have to reclamp it a few times to get the tention even across the neck.
My victor broke after only a little use. I liked it a lot, but it was too fragile.
My paige is new and so far so good.
It is the least bulk and doesn't interfere as much as the others.
I will buy more paige capos.

When I travel I have always with me an old small Dunlop that everybody knows.

The kyser have a fine shape but I've broken two for 6 strings. One time the handle and an other the spring.

Now I've bought 2 metal Dunlop, one nickel and one gold. You can used them for 6 or 12 string. They are strong, easy and speed to move on the neck.

I have a kyser, G7 and a shubb. At the moment I prefer the shubb, very unobtrusive.

I got one of the Planet Waves NS capos while at the 2007 Merlefest. The sales rep in the musical instrument/accessories tent showed it to me and explained the ease of use, how it totally fretted all of the strings with little effort and the small, compact design. For $15 I couldn't believe it! I had been using the Keyser capos for years but now they have been retired.

THis little capo is the best one I have seen or used. Very small, light and not in the way.

I needed B flat today, at least I think it's B flat, whatever it is, sounds pretty good playing over one of Guildmark's tunes.

Mark's a pretty good player & I needed two guitars, first one's a G7 & the 2nd a Kyser. Both of em work pretty well, Kyzer's probly quicker, G7 more precise.

Don't know who made the 3rd capo, It's the first one I bought 30+ (?) years ago. Don't like it a bit, spring is much too strong, tweaks the tuning in a bad way. I've used welding clamps that have less torque.

None of them made nearly as much difference as lessons.

Personally I use the Kyser - easy and quick. Many people I know swear by the G7 - it looks neat and won't get in the way. I 've also gotten one with a nylon strap that I've had for years and kinda levers shut with pegs that fit in teeth (don't know what it was called, but it was cheap :wink: ). Keep it in the Epi case and use it on the EPI if I don't remember the Kyser :mrgreen:

I have now just acquired a G 7th, and like it. It had it's first public performance last night, an dhas pride of place in the Guild case - the Kyser has now gone to The Epi case

This is what I use, it's even long enough for my F312 12-stringer as well. Just all around great capo.
