An Extremely Stable Capo
I recently gave in and bought a capo so that I could learn some Radiohead songs properly which also use one on their guitar.First and foremost this is an extremely compact capo - it will not take up much room in your guitar case. It is also light weight and does not unbalance the guitar (make it more neck-heavy).Mind you, it is powerfully sprung and you do have to really squeeze down on the handle to open it up. If you have a thick guitar neck it will make you work harder to get in on.The 'bridge' section of the capo is long enough for you NOT to have to force the capo on. If you force it on up to the hinge, you are overdoing it and on my USA Ovation, this pushes the low E out of line and of course out of tune. So don't - use the full length of bridge (it is covered in rubber to protect the neck) to clamp down on the strings. I've tried this capo at the 12th fret it will still cover the neck.The opposite side of the capo (the 'thumb') is also covered in a rubber/plastic material to protect the neck material. In both cases the protective coverings are very well fitted - this is a well made capo.If your guitar has high frets, there is no doubt that you are going to have to retune the guitar because of that grip - but you should retune after putting a capo on anyway.This is a great capo for practicing or where it will need to stay on the guitar throughout a performance (it will be hard to knock it off!). But if you will be moving the capo around a lot by yourself during a set (with no roadie to help you) you might want to consider a model that is easier to handle - faster perhaps - unless you can spend enough time with this one and get used it before taking it on stage.The best way to handle it is to push down on the rear 'thumb' against the neck as you manoeuvre it over the strings and release the bridge bar gently onto it - the same with taking it off - this way you will tend not to drag on the strings and keep them in line.This is my first capo and all I can say is that it works and has got me doing what I intended to do. It seems built to last.Highly recommended. If anything changes I will let you know.

Great capo, well made and no string buzzing!
I thought this capo as a replacement for the ones that you have to tighten with the thumbscrew (those ones work really well but they’re not very convenient to pop on and off). I also had another spring-loaded capo but the neck of my Washburn steel acoustic guitar is too narrow and whenever I used it one or two strings buzzed.This is really well-made piece. I bought the orange version and it’s a nice shiny orange paint and appears to be quite durable. The shape of it makes it really easy to click on and off and it holds down the strings firmly so there’s no buzzing.Highly recommended!

So far, a fabulous capo.
I only just received this a couple of hours ago so I can't perhaps furnish this with great detail but so far this seems to be a really effective piece of kit.The cheap capo that came with my acoustic seemed fine to me until I put this on. The difference is stunning. The capo'd guitar, using the Kyser, sounds every bit as clear as uncapo'd and there's little difference in sustain- at least not enough to stop those open note drones and flicks sounding wonderful.My first thought was it was very stiff when trying to open, which makes me wonder just how quick the quick change in the name actually is. But this means, of course, that it's very good at its job. And it is.I don't know how this compares to other named and expensive capos but it's like a whole new world when compared to my cheapy capo.It's bloody good. So far.And it goes with my guitar! I'd given up trying to get the right color of red and just plumped for the one nearest and it turns out that it's actually spot on the same as the red of my guitar!

and was pleased with the performance
I had my original Kyser capo for about 9 years, and was pleased with the performance, so when the spring broke I decided to get a new one - I use it pretty intensively so wasn't concerned about the failure. Nothing's changed - it's still easy and quick to use, and unlike some reviewers I have never had it cause any tuning problems. A great product for a sensible price - well worth the extra over the cheap £5 capos.

Does the job, but the spring is too strong in relation to the length of the 'handles'.
Does the job well when in position, but for me the spring strength is too high. I wanted to use this capo as a "quick change" ie moving it swiftly mid-song to change key. But this is impossible because it needs so much gripping force to release it (and keep it open whilst moving up the fretboard) and this makes it impossible for me to reposition quickly. NB I am an athletic build adult male, so this sort of thing is not normally an issue for me!I find the curly tip of the handle to be a bit annoying also, as it gets in the way of my fingers. I intend to cut it off and fit an extension bar to increase the leverage and hopefully make the capo easier to use.
