Way too heavy for my liking. I have a G7 for guitar and find it even unbalances my guitar so what hope for a uke?

Just ordered one, I’ll let you know my thoughts.

What annoys me about my Dunlop clamp-type capo is that it’s prone to springing out of your hand when you’re playing it, which when your hands are shaking during a gig, isn’t ideal, especially with a close front row.

Be careful if you’re using eBay like me, as there’s guitar versions as well as banjo & mandolin capos, the latter of which are ideal for ukes.

A capon is a neutered rooster so I figured capo was like cutting it short, which I guess it sort of is…

It looks wonderful….I just don’t see myself spending the money on it. I’ve had my Keyser for years and the spring is still plenty strong…fits a bari without issue, and the pocket uke without smushing things…. And i think you can pick one up for 10 bucks… But that does look like a super nice capo….It looks like something that might also open wine bottles….if so, i’m sold

For the first time I tried using an elastic capo on my tenor uke. But it moved too easily when my hand bumped it reaching for the near frets and it stood out so much that I bumped it frequently. This unit looks like it would be a much better tool, but $40 is a bit pricey for an occassional use item.
Very nice review by the way.

Gosh Tim, I thought for sure I was going to get to hear you say “capotasto” with a heavy Italian accent at least once. I’m a little dissappointed.

Put it on with the open end at the “A” string and it won’t get in your way of your fretting hand.
