The two single reasons why I also use an Elliott capo.
A. You can bend do bends on the E and B strings without the string slipping.
B. The capo will not pull the strings out of tune.
I used to only use Shubbs for reason A. However, in spite of how good the Shubb was, you had to use extra care when putting it on. Otherwise it would pull the strings slightly out of tune.
Many folks balk at the higher price, and perhaps that may be due to the small size of the component. But when I think about it I realize that for me, the Elliott is the perfect tool for the job. If I were a carpenter I wouldn't think twice about laying out the extra bread for a well designed, sturdy hammer, especially one that has the same type of warranty!!
