Dobro Capo Question
Hey all,
I have a 1932 Dobro that I set up for lap style, and have been playing that way for years. It has that big old v neck on it. I recently discovered that Shubb has a capo that could potentially work. Does anyone have any experience with capo's on these necks? Roger |

I owned one of the Shubb dobro capos. It was a little awkward to fit and only would work on one of the dobro guitars I have owned. The capos that float on the strings are easier to set up and move to exact pitch without having to retune.

Not with the Shubb. It has a piece that sits on the back of the neck.

Apparently the Beards are not in stock. The Charlie capo looks like it would work. I just wish these weren't so darn much $. 85 bucks! Oh well, what isn't more expensive than should be these days.
Thanks guys.

If you are at all handy, there are a few home made examples around that look pretty straight forward.
Disclaimer: I haven't tried, and I'm not that handy, but I'm going to give it a go as I need one....

I don't know if you can see this link in the US as it is from Ebay in the UK:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284295350...oAAOSwtbNgn~gT But I'm sure there must be someone in the US making something similar for about $30-$40.
