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. Jack

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 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.

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.

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. |
