Full description

Description

Attaches to the banjo neck with two tiny wood screws ...It operates on a lever principle, not a spring, so it provides sufficient pressure to fret the string without muting the tone. It slides on a slim, dovetailed bar which mounts flush to the neck, making it sturdy and unobtrusive.

Short series: This capo will accommodate key changes from the 6th fret to the 11th fret (G# - C# in G tuning).  

Please use the drop down menu to select your preferred finish.

(also available in Long Series)

Fairly easy to fit. You need a very small drill and to be a bit careful with it. Very convenient when fitted. I have one on each of my steel strung banjos now.

Typically excellent quality product from Shubb.
Would recommend this to any banjo player requiring a 5th string capo.
A wee bit tricky to fit to the banjo if you have little manual skills.
