Description

Designed for 4- or 5-string banjos and mandolin, the Banjo/Mandolin Pro Capo assures buzz-free, in-tune performance at any fret. A micrometer adjustment mechanism allows you to dial in the exact tension needed for clear ringing notes without excessive force in any position on the neck. This greatly reduces the need to retune your instrument during and after banjo/mandolin capo use. The sleek aircraft grade aluminum construction can withstand the toughest playing/touring schedule while adding negligible additional weight or obstruction to the instrument.

    • Works great!
This capo works great for my 5-string open back banjo!

    • cool capo
Huge fan of this capo. What i like best is that you can lock down three stings on a guitar and get some crazy sounds. Certainly allow for creativity

    • Tiny but great!
It's tiny, but man, it does the job. I use it for banjo, but should work for mandolin.

    • Very small
This product is the perfect size - for my soprano uke. Too small for a baritone or tenor. Will fit most concerts as well.

    • My goto capo on my thick necked banjo.
Actually surprised how much I like this capo. I have a number of others, mostly Shubbs (original and deluxe) and I like them just fine as well as a G7. I have one banjo, an 80's Washburn B-18 archtop that has a very thick neck and none of my other banjo capos work well on it...always feels like the clamp is going to squeeze too hard. I've used a guitar capo on the B-18 for awhile, but never felt it did the job very well. For some reason, this little, light weight capo, clamps nicely onto the B-18 neck without a problem and with minimal effort. It's so small, I often forget to take it off before I put my banjo in it's case, but that's just a habit thing I need to work out. While I'm playing, does fit nicely into my jeans pocket-watch pocket (the small pocket inside your right front pocket) and I can also straddle it's "U" shape between two resonator holes, though your mileage may vary on that...and if you try that, be careful it does not slip its way into one of the holes falling into the resonator itself...I've come close, but know how to avoid that now on my banjo. ... show more

    • Great quality, Perfect Size
Review Image by Hannah Hannah
This capo is the perfect size for my standard-sized mandolin. The twist-tighten style is great because you can tighten it enough to get the sound just right, and is narrow enough that you can move it to the exact spot in the fret that will give you the ideal intonation for your specific instrument, without getting in the way of your hand. It also has nice padding on the undersized so as to not scratch the delicate coating of the wood. I really enjoy using this capo and appreciate that it allows my mando to maintain a beautiful tone/sound even when used higher on the fretboard. ... show more

    • Very nice capo, but too short for my banjo
Review Image by Stephen Stephen
I really like the design of this capo, it's very simple and easy to use. To put on and remove the capo you just tighten or loosen the thumbscrew. Giving it 3 stars only because unfortunately the neck on my banjo is just *barely* too wide for this capo to fully reach the 1st string. This probably won't be a problem for most people, but I'm using this on a long neck banjo which ends up being a bit too wide higher up the neck. If you're unsure, check my photo and you can see this capo has a reach of just over 1 1/4 inches. If you have the same problem as me, I highly recommend getting the Planet Waves NS Ukulele Capo — it's identical to this capo but just a bit longer, instead having a 1 1/2 inch reach and it's perfect for my application! ... show more
