capo

Shubb C1 / C4

Shubb's C1 and C4 capos — the screw-lever design, in production since the 1970s, for players who want to set clamping tension by hand.

Why it matters

The screw lever is what separates it from a spring capo: you control how hard it presses. Two models are covered, the C1 and the C4.

Note
