capo's: WHAT is A CAPO?
1411731
Capotasto (sometimes capo tasto) capotasto (plural capotastos) (music) A device, placed across the strings of a fretted instrument such as a guitar, to shorten the strings and thus allow upward transposition without altered fingering. [Wiktionary] I know two uses of a capo. The first is that putting it on the first fret tunes your guitar a half step. The second is that putting it on the third fret (I think) helps it tune like an ukulele. Or something.

No, it doesn't. A guitar capo increases the key you're playing in one half step for every fret higher you move it. E -&gt; F on the first fret or E -&gt; F# on the second fret The higher up you move the capo, the brighter and more 'tinny' the sound of your guitar becomes, and on the higher registers one might be able to compare the sound to a ukulele, however I wouldn't say that it would make your guitar sound like a banjo.

The reaction happens with certain lacquer finishes when in contact with rubber, this is something more to do with the finish on your instrument than it is the capo. However, Im sorry to hear of the issue, try replacing the rubber with a foam or another material for padding, or purchase another capo that uses something other than rubber for padding. Best of luck!

The cap is designed to allow the coffee to flow into the carafe while brewing and to be poured out through the cap after brewing. The rattling you hear is a small ball inside the cap which acts as check valve between the two functions.

This capo is for classical guitars...I would think it would work for 12 strings as well

The strap is fixed; the capo is adjustable by placing the ratchet peg in a different groove along the top. This way, when you engage the lever arm of the capo to tighten it, the effective length of the strap is shortened. Thus, it adjust to fit different sized neck, but does so in fixed increments. I still fin this to fit fine on all of my guitars. The selling point for this style of capo (for me anyways) is the low profile. You have very little protruding from the neck (whereas with the clamp-style capos have the entire clamp handle protruding).

There is no cap. There is a plastic attachment on the tip that gets lost VERY easily. I would not recommend this product.

Dunlop is a specific brand. Every capo achieves the same effect. I just bought this capo and it works just as well as a $15 capo I used to have.

I kind of doubt it is good for a classical myself, not because of the width, but because this capo is curved for contact points on the frets. Look at the picture, it's a curved capo. It's not about the width, the classical guitar has a flatter fretboard. Steel string guitar fretboards have a curve; I have many. Look for something that is meant specifically for classical guitars. I have a classical myself, so I vote no about this being appropriate for a classical guitar. It's likely going to put more pressure on the outer E strings and not do the job on the interior strings due to the curvature. I haven't used a capo for classical so I can't make a recommendation, but there must be something out there.

After a few times using it, it does become pretty fast to put it on/take it off/move it, using a quick turn of the tension screw with one hand ... but I don't really think it's going to ever work the way you're hoping (i.e. one movement, one second). Realistically, it would be more like a 2-3 second change at best. The Kyser would be perfect for that, but in my experience, it has too much tension and throws the tuning off. The Shubb ukulele capo might be a good compromise ... adjustable tension and quicker clamp/release.

Good capo does not change tone, or bend strings out of tune. Tip in using it, press strings down before squeezing down on capo.

Price, style, and whether you want automatic so it's easier to get same flavor each time or a lever you manually switch on and off to stop flow of water through the coffee capsule. Piccolo is cheapest and manual shut off. Genio and creativa are automated. Melody is manual but more stylish and more expensive than piccolo. I love my genio for ease of use and moderately priced.

There is n readon you can't. Nott many people use capos on electric, but you can do it!

It has a lever that opens and closes the valve. You can see the lever on the left side of the photo. No cap is needed.

Cap refers to a "Cap Crimper", if you look above the wire cutters and the wrench part of the pliers there is an inset half-circle on each of the pliers near the top, it allows you to crimp a cable, so if you work with cabling a lot such as co-axial cable, you can finish new cables by using this part of the tool on the end of the connector so it stays firmly attached to the cable. If you are still unsure what I am describing, look up "cable crimping" and you will see what I mean. Hope this helped.

Yes it does have a cap. It's not exactly the tightest fit, it might get jostled loose actually...
