The Dobro Capos - HD- are made in my garage machine shop.....every one "goes through a test drive on a Dobro" or Jack Stepick Weissenborn prior to shipping.
The "muting " material is a high density urethane the metal components are Hardened Naval Brass.
The Capo is simple and quick to adapt to your Square Neck Guitar. Or Round Neck with a Nut Riser.
When you view the photo of my 60DS Dobro, the other Koa Reso was made by Ray Fairchild who passed away a year ago. Notice tuners and nut area... with the Capo...mounted... you can also notice a Naval Brass Nut Riser...which I can supply, They are precision machined...not cast or bent forms. They elevate the strings approximately 1/8 inch.
There is a naval brass washer and a Delrin washer between the tone bar and the tightening nut.
The string height must be at least 3/8 inch above the frets, measure at the top of the 1st fret to the underside of the string at the same fret position.
The Capo overall length will work perfectly on a guitar with a maximum string spacing of 2-1/4 inches or less measured from the 1st string to the 6th string, or other number of strings.
If you are looking for a high-quality, cost-effective Capo …. that works…this is it and you pay less than half the price of some other Capos.
The photos show this Capo on a quilted maple, Fairchild Dobro. Ray Fairchild passed away last year. The other Dobro and Mini Weissenborn guitars are available from Jack Stepick, Luthier. It also displays the Capo on my 1977 60D-S Dobro and my Rogue 6 string electric lap steel guitar.
Recently there was a small increase in the Capo price, due to the increased cost in materials, energy and shipping costs for the materials.
Send me any questions you might have prior to buying one of my Capos. Check my eBay ratings.
