Its taken me a while to get my head around using this capo as I haven't really understood what it can do until now. Such fun to explore new possibilities.Īnother important rating for this capo apart from handling and quality is what use it has for the musician. It may seem a lot for a capo, but I think these are worth far more than their weight in gold. Thomann has the best price I have seen for this product. Their website is very helpful and has many suggestions for various positions of tunings.

Just make sure you DON'T buy imitations, you will most likely get ripped off with something that doesn't work or at best have a greatly inferior product.Īlso, make sure you are using it properly when you 1st get one, before grousing about how it doesn't work, as even I have heard a professional admit, who in his excitement, didn't follow the simple, basic, straight forward instructions. I see these almost as a trade secret for creative innovative players, which I altruistically, yet reluctantly encourage to explore. If I get an 8 string, then I will definitely be buying one of the XL versions.īrilliant product. I look forward to getting a 7 string soon and using my spider capos on that. I would stress, to be helpful that I have found these spider capos aren't great for a more curved fretboard like a traditional fender type. With careful positioning I have also used these on 12 strings, which sounds great, and takes the hassle out of open tunings on a 12 string!

The thread of the screw on these is just about suitable for 52mm nut, full size classical guitars.
Why 2? Well, there are so many combinations of open chords you can make with more than just one. So after a while, knowing the potential of these products I went 'back to Daddy' as it were and invested in 2 of these proper ones.
I couldn't get my money back and was of course loathe to buy any more of the cheap Chinese versions of this product. The 1st 2 weren't as good as these of course and very awkward but actually usable, but I gave one to a friend and ordered another one, but it was TOTALLY unacceptable because the thread of the screw wasn't long enough for coverage of even a 43mm guitar nut. Thankfully, this period of my life is over (it's just the small matter of the whole world that's under duress now.)Īnyway, last year I bought a few Chinese spider capos from eBay last year which were a lot cheaper. unfortunately, they were lost and I had some unfortunate turbulent, traumatic years where I so wasn't in the position to be creative. I previously had 2 spider capos about 5 years ago and they had great potential as the catalyst for yielding very fruitful creative output.
