It does what it claims to do very well. You still need to tune three strings after installing the capo and after its removal.

I mostly use a partial capo to simulate the DADGAD tuning. It works so well that these capos tend to get stolen by our “honest” musobrethren…

Loved this cut capo. Easy to change on he neck with one hand. Pressure is applied just right to get great tone and the chords you want. I ha e three of these and use them all the time.

Had to modify it with my Dremel to fit my 12 string guitar with a 1-7/8" nut width. The neck is so wide that the capo would not go on far enough to catch the G string. Now it does.It was a good fit on my 6 string guitars, but I bought it for my 12 string.If you nut width is 1-3/4" or less, it will work fine with no modification.I anticipated this mod before I ordered it, so not a problem for me. It works great.

The Kyser short-cut capo is very good. Well made and easy to use . Certainly opens up a new world in terms of tuning variations. Very happy with it.

S'installe aussi bien sur guitare acoustique et électrique. Pour les accords cherchez sur le net, y a pas mal d'infos.

I'm 54 years of age...that age when most guitar players reminisce about playing in bands when they were much younger. Like many, perhaps an acoustic guitar close at hand to plunk on. I played rock, blues...was a frontman in the big hair 80's era. After watching a number of Antoine Dufour and Andy McKee videos of their phenomenal modern acoustic folk instrumental play and buying their music, becoming essentially a fan...I had to buy my first of several short capos. Seeing Antoine finger tap, play above the capo...well all quite amazing.I bought one of these short capos, then two...and now play as many as 3 capos at a time to create intriguing alternative tunings. The fingerstyle or strum/flat picking becomes so intuitive, and I've enjoyed many a good night now entertaining friends at dinners and get togethers. I don't need to play established songs but your ear hears variations easily and those that have some ability to make up songs on the spot will go nuts playing these capos. It seriously makes you a much better player in everyone's mind. I have played out publically again and produced a number of CD's of my own. It is like experiencing a rebirthing on the guitar and only wished I would have had something like the Kyser short capo about 25 years ago!No matter where I play out publically folks are quite taken by the sound, which strikes you as though nearly two guitar players were playing. Has real presence. Guitar players can't help but come out of the wood work to approach near and watch, and are immediately taken in and ask..."where the heck do you get one of those?"I would recommend David Wilcox's "The Partial Capo" book to help you discover the chord possibilites...the basics, tricks and so forth. I was and still am a long time electric guitar player, fan, lovin' the blues especially...but have rediscovered the acoustic guitar over the past three years or so. Don't hesitate to buy one of these and don't be surprised not to see regular music stores not carry them as they operate by supply and demand, and folks don't know what they are...but I know without a doubt that if I set up in a music store and just played freely the store would order a bunch of 'em and always have them on hand! Get one! Get two!
