Customer Reviews

Professional CapoThere's a reason this capo is a little pricy, and that's because you get exactly what you pay for. I think that this capo is designed for professional performance because you can adjust the tightness to get perfect intonation, and because the footprint on the neck doesn't get in the way like a Keyser capo. This and Paige capos are basically necessary for any professional guitarist. I use the Shubb for my 1976 Alvarez classical nylon-string and it's exactly what I wanted. 10/105Best capo I've found!My husband and I both play guitar in a band, so we use capos a lot. And of the various styles I've tried, these are my favorite. Why? 1) they are smaller than many of the other clamp-on capos yet have a very solid feel to them; 2) there are basically no sharp edges to potentially nick the guitar (although I did slightly "ding" one of my guitars from dropping it on the face of the guitar...ouch!); 3) there's no tight spring-loaded action to potentially pop out of your hand. Instead they clamp on real smoothly, gently and evenly with very little strength needed. But the best feature by far is; 4) the adjustable tension mechanism. Since guitar necks gets wider and thicker as it gets closer to the body of the guitar, many capos get "uncomfortably" tight and more difficult, or even impossible, to clamp-on as you move it up the neck toward the body. With this capo, however, a slight turn of the screw will increase or decrease the tension as needed so the fit is always just right anywhere on the neck. I like to adjust it so the pressure on the strings is the minimum necessary to eliminate buzzing...similar to the pressure you would typically apply with your fingers (not something you can usually do with other clamp-on capos) as something tells me it's probably easier on your strings and frets. The only drawback, as others have mentioned, is that it is a lot more difficult to put on with one hand than some of the other clamp-on capos. You really need two hands to get the placement just right. It may also take some trial and error to get the tension adjusted or re-adjusted to where you want it, which could present a slight hindrance during a live performance. But I try to find a happy-medium so I don't need to re-adjust it very much as I reposition it. For me, though, the benefits out weigh the drawbacks. So much so that I've purchased five so far, for our various styles of guitars, including a "cute" little one that works with both my banjo and mandolin. Oh, one caution...make sure you get the right capo for your style guitar because the one for nylon-string guitars has a wider and flat rubber clamp, whereas the one for steel string guitars is a tad shorter and ever so slightly curved for "radius" necks. On day recently, my nylon stringed guitar was buzzing badly during practice and I was getting concerned...until I noticed I was using the slightly curved-steel-string capo on my flat-necked nylon-string guitar, so it wasn't pressing the center strings down hard enough. In retrospect, I might have bought the different styles in different colors of metal (they are available in brass and black etc.) so I could more easily tell them apart.5Great for guitars with wide necks!Bought this capo for my first nylon string classical after trying and returning a spring-clamp style capo that was much too tight. So tight I was worried about damaging the neck. My guitar neck is 2 inches wide, this capo easily covers that and still has almost 1/4" extra rubber pad past the edges of the neck. I think it's closer to 2.5 inches wide. I prefer the adjustable pressure over the spring style, which is one level of pressure and that's it. Line it up, set your preferred pressure with the thumb screw, and snap it shut. Gives my strings a slightly fatter tone and a bit more ring. Simple design, looks like solid brass, well made. Can't comment on durability as I just bought it. I would definitely recommend and buy again. Good product!5Slim enough to stay on your guitar at all timesIn addition to all the positive things everyone else has mentioned, there is one other very important but overlooked benefit: this capo is slim enough to stay on the head of your guitar at all times, even when it s in its case. This means you re less likely to lose it when you clip it to the mike stand at a gig, leave it on the counter at home, or leave it in your other guitar case. Knowing your capo will always be with your guitar is invaluable. I didn t realize what a benefit this is until I lent my guitar to someone who was not in the habit of keeping his capo on the head of his guitar, and lost my capo as a result. I had to buy an ordinary capo at a music store half an hour before a gig, and I hate it. Luckily, Amazon has Shubb capos at a reasonable price and with prime shipping.5Professional grade capo.Shubb is my favorite capo. They last, they don't degrade with time. The clearances, moving parts, and hinges are tight and superbly finished. The rubber and plastic components are durable.Shubb capos cause less (minimal) detuning. Put another way, less loss of intonation.I use these for classical, flamenco, and for Acoustic-Electric folk/rock. I use them in-studio and on-stage.5Ingenious DesignI've owned 3 different capos over the past 15 years, Kyser, NS Pro, and Shubb. First I owned a couple Kysers for my steel & nylon guitar, and the rubber pad was gradually wearing away before the spring broke after some years. Fearful of another spring breaking on me, I purchased Planet Waves NS Pro capo for their adjustable screw design, but over time the screw struggled to tighten enough on its own to hold the strings down without causing some buzzing, so to get it to work I had to use one hand to squeeze the capo around the neck to make the screw easier to tighten more (maybe it has trouble with thinner guitar necks?).Now I'm using this Shubb capo, it's only been about 6 months and so far I'm loving it. There's no spring to weaken or break on me (except only on the adjustment screw), and I don't have to constantly adjust the screw to tighten it. I use the same screw tightness for positions 1-9 on my guitar, although it does start to feel a bit too tight on the 8-9 range, but I rarely use it that high. The way the capo works is that with its unique shape, there's a slight dip in force applied in its closed position, which is what's snapping it in place... so when you pull the lever to take it off, it's actually pinching the neck a bit tighter before you feel it snap off. It feels smooth & precise, and genius in its simplicity.It's a bit trickier to use with 1 hand so you may see people say that 2 hands are needed, and for me it's almost as quick to adjust as a Kyser but without the worry of it springing out of my hand, but it could cause minor concern as to how it pops off & how the lever moves about loosely in open position. It takes me about 1.5-2 seconds to change positions (pull, shift, push), whereas the NS Pro can take me 5 seconds (unscrew, shift, screw). Also, it's probably easier of the 3 on the hand since I'm not constantly squeezing a spring or twisting on a screw tightly, all that's needed is a split-second of force needed to push it on or pull it off. Another good thing about this capo is that they sell a variety of replacement parts for about $2 each, so if the rubber sleeve starts to wear out you can slip it off and buy a new one from their site for $2 with free shipping (as of this writing), while other manufacturers offer little to nothing for replacement parts.In short, this is the most satisfying capo I've owned so far, it comes either 1st or a close 2nd in pretty much every category I can think of, doing everything well while the other capos bounce between close 1st and distant 3rd, making the Shubb #1 overall in my opinion. I don't know if the Shubb will have any issues down the road, but I'll probably still love it if it's only a $2 fix instead of spending $10-$20 on a new capo every few years.Size - only slightly larger than an NS Pro when in closed position, Kyser is large & showy by comparisonPrice - sits between NS Pro and KyserSpeed - almost as fast as Kyser, NS Pro is a distant 3rdTension - about as adjustable as the NS Pro (Shubb does have that slight release when closed), Kyser isn't adjustableEase of Use - depends on the person's hands: Kyser - squeezers; NS Pro - twisters; Shubb - overall finger dexteritySafety - it can feel a bit unwieldy, I've had more worry with the Kyser's spring action, and NS Pro is worry-freeDurability - the quality of the capo seems sturdy overall with almost no movement needed of its internal screw, plus it's easy to order replacement parts if something breaks.5Isn't wide enough for my classicalI love Shubb capos, and use them for my steel-string acoustic and electric guitars, but I was disappointed that their capo made for nylon string guitars wasn't wide enough for my Cordoba. I'll keep using their capos for most of my guitars, but I'll have to find another brand for my classical.1Best Capo for my nylon string classical GuitarI tried a few others before settling on this one. The screw-type capos have their limitations, and I didn't like the way they fit on the neck of my Cordoba C7, with only two small points of contact. The Shubb fits well and it doesn't require much tension to provide the precise amount of pressure needed for a good tone. I highly recommend this capo.5Wonderful product.Very rigid and sturdy. Manufactured with quality in mind. Some people have complained about not being able to move it with one hand. I don't not find this difficult. Fits nicely on my Takamine classical guitar. Adjusting the set screw with the tension nob is very easy and moves slowly and steadily. If I am not plugged into my amps, I sometimes use the GuitarTuna app to tune and to use the metronome. I can tune my guitar to standard and have it within 1%-3% of each strings "ratio". Put the capo on and adjust my tension properly and the tuning stays within 5% total deviation of "standard" tuning. This of course depends on the guitars humidity and other factors, but overall, the Shubb C2 Capo for nylons is a wonderful product and well worth the few dollars it costs. I imagine this capo will last just as long, if not longer than the guitar I am using right now.5solid, cool piece of capoi got this capo after having a kyser style capo for a few months. i hate the profile on the kyser style and it gets in the way of hand position. i like this one because it's small and the hand moves around it without being impeded. the one thing is that it's not the easiest to take off and re-position which you might think why would that matter. i like to tune the strings once the capo has been placed and i will take the tension off the capo and retension it to give the strings the ability to have even tension when it's being tuned. it's harder with this capo because of its design. if i didn't care about fine tuning, this capo would be perfect.4
