I've been a serious guitar player for sixty years. I've used the standard Shubb ever since it appeared on the market, but wanted to get something that will quick-change between frets. This one does, but I had to cut 3/8" off the end of it and refinish the cut end before it would work for me. It is a mistake for Nordic to make a "one size fits all" capo. This capo is wide enough for a very wide fingerboard, but on my Martin HD-28 it stuck out and got in the way. I tried to use it once, and then marked it with a sharpie, cut off the end, and carefully ground and polished the end. Nordic would be a whole lot better off if they offered several different models - one for guitars with wide flat fingerboard, one for guitars with narrow curved fingerboard, and one for mandolin or banjo. The one-size-fits-all model doesn't work as well for any of those instruments.

Very easy to handle. Clamps on tightly, without sending the strings out of pitch. I used it on my 12 string during special occasion and it functioned very well.

Definitely my favorite Capo. The perfect amount of pressure very easy to use.

this is a high quality, beautifully simple, and completely functional piece of guitar hardware. it even came with a nice little synch top cloth bag that is pretty good quality. (i actually have a little black synch top bag collection...don't ask) ANYWAY, i have only one complaint about the design. i have a custom built acoustic that i basically treat like its made of glass. in the joint where it clamps to the neck, its totally unpadded metal. with the neck side arm being a little dinky, its easy to hit the side of the fretboard with the bare metal. once you line it up and get it clamped on, it's absolutely rock solid with those thick rubber pads. i don't have any guitar buddies to show it off to, but i would recommend this to anyone looking for a great capo.

I have had this capo for over a year & had been very happy with it. I have small hands and so many capos can be awkward for me to use if there is a large spread. I only mention the following to showcase the company's excellent customer service: Suddenly the metal seemed to fail & it broke. I contacted the company and they responded right away and are sending a replacement for free! They also thanked me for sharing the picture of the damaged product so they can continue to improve their product & keep this from occurring again. You can buy this with confidence that if something does go wrong, it will be taken care of. Great customer care, Nordic!!
