capo ~ banjo 5th string capo NEW design compact easy! ~parts~

Description: This is the new exciting Clive's Clever Clothespin Capo. Clive invented this originally to use on his 1894 S. S. Stewart Universal Favorite since he needed a reliable fifth string capo idea that would not damage or in any way alter this banjo that has antique value. This capo fits under the string and stays there with a slot for the string and one for the appropriate fret as well. This gives you reliable tone quality and... you know the proper note... (possibly with some minor adjustment... sometimes...) without altering in any way the neck of the instrument. There are three sizes depending on the action of the particular banjo. For a standard bluegrass style banjo for instance the low size is designed, however people have already told me that they need the medium size also for that style when playing further up the neck. It also might be possible to use just the middle one but squeezing it in is awkward when you are only going up a few frets...I recommend the three sizes if, like myself you have multiple banjos and at least one that has nylgut strings or the equivalent... One thing I wanted to add since I am thinking about it is that some people have ordered the small and found out that the medium was actually better. I guess I would recommend that if you want only one, maybe the medium is the best bet. It will pretty much work on almost any banjo... It was the original size. I made the small because with a 5th string with very low action maybe the medium was putting more pressure on the string than was necessary. I made the large for nylon strings which is mostly what I play. The best thing would be if you wouldn't mind having a look at this video: Clive's Clever Clothespin Capo
