nice capo but EXPENSIVE
Very similar to the Paige capo in design but it's twice the price! a little more stylish and, threadwise ,a little more robust (I hope it is ,I wore out my Paige in under two years!)Overpriced but if you want a fancy capo that works well (I prefer this design to the shubb type , pulls more evenly) then why not . I like it ,hope it lasts!....one last thing ,my Paige capo won't expand enough to store behind the nut on my Martin guitar because of the "noggin / heal"? but this one expands enough to sit better above the nut when not in use and it's easier to fit and remove as the Paige is VERY fiddly especially in poor light ,which is usual when performing.

Great piece of kit
The main reason that I bought this Capo, was to replace a previous capo from a different manufacturer, which wasn't very enduring. I don't use a capo very often, but they are very handy, and despite having several other styles, I like the simplicity of this type of design. It is very carefully manufactured, not a rough edge anywhere, and the self centring mechanism is so smooth, it doesn't require a lot of pressure on the strings, and easy and fast to adjust.

Nice capo, but not self centering.
Nice lightweight capo , doesn’t pull your guitar out of tune and it doesn’t soak up your guitar tone. But it doesn’t always centre itself on the neck.

Excellent cappo
Best cappo I have used. Really well made, nicely finished,and very nicely presented.It gives a good even pressure across all the strings (even when higher up the neck).Really can't fault it in any way.I would highly recommend paying a little more for this excellent cappo.

Expensive but really good at its job
Can use it without affecting the tuning of the guitar when taken off. With other tuners, normally would have to re-tune after taking a capo off, but this one doesn’t affect tuning in such a huge way, also unobtrusive.

Could have been 5 stars
The capo seems very well made from nice polished steel. The screw works well and guitar keeps good tuning. It is however, well over priced in the UK at £67. On a note of concern, I noticed that my guitar has a number of small scratches over the edge of the fret board. I came to realise that this was caused by small machining burrs on the underside where the capo was milled to allow closure. I had to deburr this using fine emery cloth and 0000 wire wool. This worked well, but should take place at the factory. With this and the price, I give a 3 star rating. I noticed one reviewer's capo broke in two, and another the screw broke off. Thats bad. I hope this dosen't happen!

Excellent
My 2nd one for another guitar, having transferred the similar one to my acoustic, I am highly satisfied with the accuracy, strength and significantly small profile of this capo.Unlike many other capos, this does not sharpen the note following tuning open, and minimal/no need to retune.Plus . . It doesn’t fall off when slackening to move up or down, the neck.Highly recommended !Update 25/4/20 I have an old boatneck telecaster, fat c telecaster, and big gibson acoustic and electric necks.These capos easily neatly accommodate all !

Can be stored behind the nut, but not when on a hanging stand.
Very precise, seems well made but petite, and light weight. The price was 3 times more expensive, that my sturdy brass Shubb capo, which is now 30 years old and still in use.
