Thread Name: Worn Capo-Repair?
Subject: RE: Worn Capo-Repair?
G7 is clever and pretty, and pleasant to use if yiou aren't in a hurry, but if Seamus Kennedy just find it awkward to use one handed, he must have remarkable hands, because I find it totally impossible.
I've gone back relying on the Kyser, which, as he says, never seems to put the strings out of tune. I've found I can shift it right up the neck in the middle of a set, to change the sound and to give my hands a rest playing different shapes, and everything stays in tune. I don't think you could do that with many other capoes.
(I knew that sooner or later I'd find there was something Martin Gibson and me agreed about...)
