Not a new instrument, but yesterday treated myself to a new capo...a clamp type, instead of a screw type, and I love it. Bot a Shubb on the advice of a friend some years ago and I like this Kyser MUCH better... the Shubb never really seemed to fit my steel string Martin...the Kyser is fast, easy to move, no buzz... (while in the music store I also played a brilliant red Hummingbird I totally fell in love with...but the capo was more affordable!)
