Aircraft-grade Aluminum Banjo/Mandolin Capo

For a buzz-free, properly intonated performance when using a capo on a banjo or a mandolin, look no further than the D'Addario Planet Waves NS Banjo/Mandolin Capo. You'll get clear, resonant notes everywhere on the fretboard — without excessive down-pressure — thanks to the built-in micrometer adjustment mechanism. That means less retuning during and after capo use — something Sweetwater banjo players love! The soft rubber pad won't mar fine instrument finishes, and since the NS Banjo/Mandolin Capo is made from lightweight, strong aluminum, it's tour tough but light enough to hardly know it's there.

D'Addario Planet Waves NS Banjo/Mandolin Capo Features:

  • Specifically engineered for accurate intonation when used with 4- or 5-string banjos/mandolins
  • Sleek design made with aircraft-grade aluminum looks great and is lightweight
  • Soft rubber pad won't mar delicate instrument finishes
  • Micrometer adjustment mechanism ensures tuning stability at any fret position
  • Developed in collaboration with renowned designer Ned Steinberger

Reviews

Compact and easier to Chord
So I ran across a mandolin song that is played with a capo on the 2nd fret. I tried a guitar capo but it was too big and made chording near impossible. This capo is compact and makes chording so much easier.
Music background: Guitar, Mandolin, Harmonica
Perfect capo for my bouzouki!
I tried several capos for my Irish Bouzouki that didn't work well, they were either too big, or interfered with my fingering, or pulled the strings sideways,,, Then I tried this one.! Lightweight, tiny, strong, accurate, perfect for my instrument (Made by Nick Appolonio)!
Music background: Early music, folk music, dance music, modern music: singer, play recorders, fiddle, bouzouki
