Aircraft-grade Aluminum Drop-tune Capo

Need to play in drop tuning but don't want to retune between songs? For buzz-free, properly intonated capoed performance, look no further than the D'Addario Planet Waves Ned Steinberger (NS) Drop Tune Capo. You'll get clear, resonant notes everywhere on the fretboard — without excessive down-pressure — thanks to the built-in micrometer adjustment mechanism and patented trigger geometry. That means less retuning during and after capo use — something Sweetwater guitarists love! The NS Drop Tune Capo also virtually eliminates the interval variations caused by lateral string-pulling. It comes with a mounting bracket for the NS Mini/Micro Tuner, features a soft rubber pad that won't mar fine finishes, and is made from lightweight, strong aluminum — so it's tour tough but light enough you'll hardly know it's there.

D'Addario Planet Waves NS Drop Tune Capo Features:

  • Specifically engineered for accurate drop-tune simulation when used with standard guitar tuning
  • Sleek design made with aircraft-grade aluminum looks great and is lightweight
  • Soft rubber pad won't mar delicate instrument finishes
  • Micrometer adjustment mechanism and patented trigger geometry ensure tuning stability
  • Mounting bracket for NS Mini/Micro Tuner included for your convenience
  • Developed in collaboration with renowned designer Ned Steinberger

Expand your fingerstyle and hybrid picking in “D” position w this capo

As a fingerstyle and hybrid picker I have often found the D fingering position limiting because it lacks the low octave unless you tune down the low E string to D. This capo opens up opportunities to play in many different keys up the neck using the D position. In other words use this capo on the second fret and play in D position for the key of E. And, with a second regular capo 2 frets below, you can move up the neck and play in the keys of F, F#, G, G#, etc. and have the low active available on the sixth string. How sweet it is!
