Charley Noble 5th string capo (14) RE: 5th string capo 11 Oct 17

As Banjoman says above "Railway spikes" at the 2nd. 5th and 7th fifth string fret positions."

What's he's talking about are old style HO gauge miniature railroad spikes, which have offset heads to hold down the 5th string (fret it). The new style HO gauge spikes do not work, given that they have round heads!

I have a large supply of the real McCoy railroad spikes and would be happy to mail a dozen out for a dollar, with a self-addressed stamped envelope to Charlie Ipcar, 80 Main St., Richmond, ME 04357. It's a public service. I'm clever with tools. So I install them myself but it's probably safer to have them professionally installed.
