Fifth String Capo Spike - Set of Three - With fitting instructions

A pack of Three Deering Capo 'Railroad' Spikes, complete with Fitting Instructions, to Capo the fifth string on your banjo. The answer to your problem if you ‘Don’t want to screw a regular 5th string ‘Capo’ to the side of your banjos neck! …These 5th string Deering ‘Banjo Spikes’ install into the fingerboard of your banjo. In use, you simply push your fifth string under the spike to ‘capo’ the fifth string.

Spikes are normally fitted at the 7th 9th and 10th frets which give you easier access to playing in the keys of A, B, C etc. Deering Spikes are made from a higher tensile steel and are less likely to fail and buckle than other ‘railroad spikes’ that are used for holding the track down on model railways. When the fifth string is capo'd on the 7th fret, all you have to do is place a 'regular' capo on the second fret which will allow you to play in open 'A'.

The Deering spike can also be used in place of a fifth string ‘nut’.
If you ever want to remove the spikes, you can fill the tiny hole with a mixture of epoxy and wood dust that matches the timber and colour of your fingerboard.
