I use a Kyser, simply because I spend most of my time teaching, and I don't want to take too long getting a capo on/off on a student's dime when it's needed. I haven't noticed any real problem, but all my guitars have fairly low action. Even on a Strat with light (.009-.042) strings - but that's got a trem, which probably does a little adjustment for me.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance NoteBoat https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/a-question-about-capo-strength/#post-319659 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/a-question-about-capo-strength/#post-319644 Sun, 25 Jan 2009 05:17:41 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/a-question-about-capo-strength/#post-319644 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/a-question-about-capo-strength/#post-319117 Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:24:11 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/a-question-about-capo-strength/#post-319117 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/a-question-about-capo-strength/#post-34760 Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:12:50 +0000
So i bought a cheapo trigger type capo but this always pulls the strings too tight and makes notes noticably sharp. I was wondering if kyser/dunlop trigger capos have this problem? I have read nothing but good reviews on these capos but am skeptical to buy one as i really can't see how much difference they will have to the cheapo in respect to tension strength. Anyone have experience with these capos? If so do they provide good tuning or do they turn notes sharp? =[]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance monkeyisland2 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/a-question-about-capo-strength/#post-34760
