Thread Name: capos
Subject: RE: capos
contrary to what Mark Clark says, and as a musician for 40 years, the Kyser quick change capo is the finest I have ever used and the Shubb is actually double rubbish. It is the most reliable capo used and according to people I have talked to at Elderly Instruments, their largest seller and most popular.
It is definately made for quick changes,and has never been in my way.whether I am fingerpicking or doing a banjo killing bluegrass strum.
I own five vintage acoustic guitars which obviously includes Martins and Gibsbosn and there is Kyser quick change in beautiful black color in ach case, not to mention a banjo version in my banjo's case. That, and a Shubb 5th string capo get my banjo ready to play in any key as quick as possible.
