Need a good capo for classical guitar
Please help me with a good capo, quick to change and available on ebay for nylon string guitar (flat neck).
Thanks, you beautiful legends! Mine used to be good but is somehow loosing grip so it struggles with the first e-string.

I use a Shubb classical guitar capo.

There is a Classical sub-forum here, comprised of people who focus on classical. I'm guessing they would have great recommendations. |

Ditto. Can't go wrong with Shubb.

I’ve always used a Shubb on my nylon stringed guitars and it worked great. I agree about checking in the classical sub forum. There might be more suggestions.
Best, Jayne |

Lately I've been using this one from D'Addario. I like it because it works well, doesn't take up much room and is simple. Kinda like the Elliott I use on my steel stringers.
I also have a couple of Keysers. I know a lot of people don't like them, but I do. They've always worked very well for me, and they are the quickest in terms of putting on and changing. Their only drawback is that they can poke you in the eye if you're not careful. But I still use them. I have two, and one is nearly 40 years old.

I have a Shubb classical guitar capo too, but I don't really like it. There isn't a great deal of margin between the full spacing of the strings and the size of the pad so has to be placed very precisely. I think I'd spend the extra to get the G7th performance if I was buying over again.

Shubb for me too and I've tried a bunch of them.

I have a G7th Performance Classical Capo. It was expensive, but it works great and I have had it for many years.

I haven’t tried any othe capos for my classical guitar, except the G7….the thing I don’t like is the overhang on the treble side of the fretboard…

Try a Jim Dunlop toggle style capo, the flat one. They're cheap, much less bulky than the one in your picture, and they work really well on a classical guitar. You can find them on Amazon.

Hey there!
I love my Shubb classical capo. Made for classical guitars, it is flat, so no radius and it is 2 1/4" which covers most of not all neck widths. Reliable at a good price. Regards, Jan 🎸 |

Shubb's work best for me, too — but whether for, steel, nylon or whatever you will need to make sure you get *both* the right size/width and model style to match the shape of whichever guitar neck you're using the capo on

I can't get mine to tighten up enough.
