im torn...

I like and have used the shubb capos but they have popped off on me during performance. As minimal as it may seem it also takes a bit longer to adjust versus spring capos.

Currently I am using a spring loaded capo and it works great. But I can see and hear how the string get a bit sharp and the damage it has caused on the neck of the guitar.

Cejilla anyone?

The search continues for the best capo...

nothing wrong with dunlop capos, pleanty of the pros in Spain still use them, but if you can afford the few extra $$ go with a Shubb.

I have one almost the same as the Schubb by Alice.

It was pretty cheap, but I love the thing. It is adjustable and doesn't get in the way. It also goes on and comes off quite easily, maybe not as easily as the others, but easily enough for me.

Hello All,

The great virtue of the Dunlops is that they are light weight. On a light weight flamenco the Shubb is going to make the guitar neck heavy, and likely increase the sustain and decrease the attack somewhat.

As I mentioned before, I'm too chubby to hold the guitar in anything but traditional position, so that extra weight matters to me for balance. From sailing: " A pound at the masthead is worth ten on the keel".

Cheers,

Brian
