Wittner530054 Capo Ultra Western Guitar

For me, the benchmark capo for single-handed use has got to be the G7 which is quick and easy to fit and remove, and is very easy to squeeze to the correct pressure. However, they cost a deal of money for something that’s very easily lost at a gig.This Wittner capo is a fraction of the price and almost as good in the single-handed department. It’s light and fairly easy to fit but I did find that in trying to get a little more pressure on the G,B and top E strings that I accidentally released it. This is because you release the capo by squeezing that end of it.For the money, I can recommend it but it does take a bit of getting used to. On the up side, it’s an intriguing mechanism and has been passed around my curious musician friends trying to figure out how it works.

Lovely little capo, very light and unobtrusive. Clamp is very strong. It has been designed well, especially for round neck guitars. This now my preferred capo, as I have used a few.

I really like the clever mechanism of this capo. It's really easy to attach and detach with one hand. Unlike some of the big sprung capos, it doesn't get in the way when playing, and it fits easily in your pocket.My only gripe is that after 5 years of use, something has worn out so it doesn't clamp as firmly -- I will buy an identical replacement.
