Thalia capo
 

The rest of you may have already been here before, but the Thalie is new to me.

Today, down at the Tree Bar, Joe, an Emerald owner, showed me Thalia capos on his iphone. I had never heard of them but was stunned by how closely they follow Emerald's woodies. Joe says he can get a capo that exactly matches his woody bass. I don't know how they are as a capo, but they are sure cool as a look.

They are terrific as a capo. You can easily use it with one hand

They are expensive (in my opinion) but I wouldn’t give mine up.

They have radius-specific fittings. As far as fit they don’t get much better in theory. It doesn’t hurt that they are nice to look at, but in function alone they are amazing. I have 2. They have a high quality feel to them.

I’ve been using a Thalia Capo with my X20 and I love it. Looks and works great.

Have any of you matched the capo wood to the Emerald veneers? If so I would appreciate some pictures.

Thalia capos look cool but they are really heavy.

I've got 2 of them.I like them a lot,easy to use,work great with the radiused inserts.Kind of expensive,but worth it in my opinion.

I had one of the earliest models. It literally fell apart in my hands after a few uses. Thalia was excellent in their customer service and offered me a replacement or a refund. I chose refund as I did not find the capo overall to be something I enjoyed using due to the size and weight.

Yeah, they have moved past those early issues as far as I am aware.

No one has a Thalia with a veneer matching the guitar? I want some pictures!

Want a little guitar pron with a Thalia?

I have a Thalia capo (a Xmas present) and have to say I'm not a fan, although I do use it - I find them quite bulky. I spent ages trying out all the rubbers, and now it lives on my 12-string, although it is the 6-string version.

There was the original Thalia that began as a Kickstarter project. If you have one of those, they were difficult to use.

They were extremely tight on the guitar and hard to squeeze open. Spring tensions were not consistent capo to capo.

So the capo was redesigned so the hand pressure needed was far less and especially, for the springs, a device was designed to pretest the tension of every spring so they were within specs and consistent before being assembled. Different spring sources were sought out as well, etc., as I recall.

I have both the original and the current version and there is a world of difference, even though outwardly they look identical. It's a polished product now.

Jwellsy;

Thank you for the picture--looks like date night though the sand clock and ax are kind of spooky.

Its definitely one of the newer ones, but just isn't for me I guess. My favourite tbh is my paige which lives behind the headstock. Never gets lost or "borrowed" by my daughter. I find the keyser the easiest to use but it does suffer from the aforementioned borrowing.
