D’Addario Guitar Capo – NS Artist Classical - For 6 String Classical Acoustic Guitars - Single Hand Use – Integrated Pick Holder - Black

This is my new favorite capo. I have played a lot of years. I regularly use capo's from several other makers I like a lot. All of them have some issue that makes them useful on only some of my guitars. This is the first one I have used that has worked on ALL my 6, 9 and 12 string acoustic guitars while keeping tuning stable, particularly on the 12 string. That is due to the multi-density string pad. It also is completely adjustable for string pressure and has a large range of neck sizes it will work on. Tone is clear and remains stable when properly adjusted to the guitar and fret position. Infinitely adjustable within its range with the thumb screw adjustment. I have paid a lot more for crappy capos I didn't use. This is a great value for the price.

I wanted so much for all the hype about this capo to be true. 30 bucks is a little much to spend on something that might not work. To my relief and surprise this little aluminum capo works very well on any fret without buzz or need for retuning. I play a slope shoulder acoustic with an Adirondack top that sounds amazing with this capo. I don’t have much experience with other capos, except my Kyser spring clamp style that pulls the low E string sharp.its going in a drawer,or to goodwill. Daddario makes good stuff. The XS strings and this pro plus capo are both worth the money. A word of caution,this capo is small and light and would be easy to lose so keep it in a special place.not your shirt pocket. Despite its lightness and small size it seems well made and should last a long time.

I only use the D’Addario NS Tri-Action capos now - they just work great. The grip is solid and holds tuning perfectly on both electric and acoustic guitars. It’s easy to move with one hand, fits securely, and doesn’t leave any marks on the neck. I’ve had mine for years, and it’s still as sturdy and smooth as the day I bought it. Excellent quality and definitely worth it!

I did some research on capos and decided to give Planet Waves a try. I previously had one of those bungie cord like capos, which was fine but it is a bit cumbersome. The other capos I looked into were Kyser and Schubb. Kyser is great because of its easy trigger grip. It's disadvantage however is that it has a lot of weighted tension on one side so it can knock your strings out of tune. The Schubb deals with this issue by having an adjustable tension spring that will adjust pressure according to the thickness of the neck. The problem with the Schubb, however, is that it can't really be manipulated with one hand and it can easily fall of the guitar. In comes the Planet Waves. It has a trigger grip so technically you can easily move it around the fretboard. However, because of the adjustable tension, you do need to adjust it when moving to a different neck thickness. It might rule out the one-handed ease but it does take care of Schubb's problem of falling off. In reality, I only found that I need to adjust the tension when switching between guitars or if I move up way up the fretboard. Between the 1st and 5th fret, I don't really need adjust. However, if for some reason I want to capo at the 7th, I do need to adjust the tension because it's too tight. In all, it's not that big a deal and it's nice to have the option to adjust the capo. In all, I'm happy. No capo is perfect. You can do partial capos with this one. Another review complained that it created buzz but all you need to do it adjust the tension. In case you aren't aware, this particular capo model only works on six string steel guitars. I have an electric guitar, a nylon and a Recording King ROS-06 with a chunky neck. Works great on the electric with the skinny neck and the ROS-06 with that chunky neck. Since the capo was built for guitars with a radius fretboard, it does not work on classical guitars (or anything with a flat fretboard). The capo will not reach across the entire fretboard and since the cap is curved, it will not apply pressure on the middle strings. It's a nice capo but it may not be what you're looking for so I recommend looking into the other two big hits in capos.

The LAST thing this capo needs is another five star review. But you don't understand what it's like to find THE solution to a problem after literally decades of searching. And that's what happened to me. I'm too lazy to count, but I must own 15, I wouldn't be surprised if it was 20, capos. Literally a life long search. The task sounds so simple. And the money I spent! As we speak, people are spending twice the cost of this little miracle that will ALMOST do what it does. I don't need to name names. But shame on you, 50$ capos! Well, instead, let me list the requirements. What you want from a capo is this: 1. Ease of use. 2. Applies JUST the correct amount of pressure. Not too much (because that pushes strings out of tune), not too little (buzzing). 3. You want it to be as narrow as possible, and as flat as possible, so it doesn't mess with your fretting hand. And 4. you need it to be sensitive to the different string gauges. We tend to underestimate what our fingers actually do when we play a bar chord. It's quite impressive. The flesh on our index finger adapts to six very different thicknesses of wire. And this capo, miraculously, emulates this sensitivity. The simple thumb screw makes it possible to fine tune the pressure. In conclusion: This is simply the perfect capo. Affordability is a big part of the praise I'm heaping on this product. Now let me, just real quick, speak as a musician. I have a small crappy guitar. It's cheap, nothing special. I used the D'Addario capo on this beater. Suddenly I can play IN TUNE, on the seventh fret. And this little nothing guitar sings. Perfectly in tune, with sustain and clarity. It's like a new instrument. That's the kind of impact a well designed tool can have. Very cool. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

Worth the money. Easy to use

Works great on classical guitar....

Expensive equipment should be good. This is one of the more pricey capos but i still say it's a great value for the money; you do get what you pay for. The good: Super well-built; adjusting mechanism feels solid; i'm sure this capo will outlast it's owner lol. Works VERY well for steel string acoustic, incl 12 string (which i think it's marketed toward). The tradeoff: With a spring/tension assist capo, you can keep it clipped to your headstock and just put it on and take it off as needed. While an adjustable capo is always better for a variety of guitars (we all have diff string gauges and tunings), it's kindof inconvenient that you basically have to adjust it every time you take it on/off. My takeaway is this... if you're someone who leaves capo on for many songs in a row, and at the same fret, and you want a really good capo -- this is perfect for you. But if you're someone who moves it around alot or it goes on/off the headstock often during your set, then you probably want a spring-assist capo.
