You can get Schubb capo's from the Music room in Cleckheaton and Oxford, and Hobgoblin in Bradford and a place in York (can't remember the name at the mo'). I use the standard Schubb, but when I want to pretend I've de tuned in only place it across the bottom top 5 strings. on fret 2, but I have experimented and put it over the bottom 5 at different frets to give an open high e, you can use it any how you like really. There are 3 or more types. Banjo/mandolin. Curved radius fingerboard, flat fingerboard and 12 string that I know of. Don't know if it's the same as"partial capo" but does the trick. Cheers. Eric
