I have compared a non art capo (and non yoke style) to the heritage capo and the heritage definitely sounds more correct and less muffled.

So i think it is a powerful and relevant consideration for most of us if a capo is able to adjust to the radii of different guitars automatically.

This was the most apparent difference in capos that I immediately noticed with my guitar. With any capo my guitar lost a little something, less richness, less depth. With the Heritage nothing is lost and I never suspected that could happen. So I hope anyone who has experienced “capo dampening” might be encouraged that there’s now a solution to that problem. I tend to believe it’s in part due to the ART adjusting to the radius and applying equal pressure across the fretboard.

There's plenty of information about the Heritage capo on this this forum. Anyone searching for information on "best capo" over the last couple years is sure to find threads touting their benefit. Interestingly enough, I think one will find less information about Showcase and Katzeyez capos on the forums than about the Heritage. So, using your logic, you should be pleased with my sharing positive information about these lesser known capos. Quote:

Since you clearly didn't read my previous posts about owning and not liking the Heritage for my use, I will ask again if you read Rick Shubb's article I shared about fret board radii and capos? http://www.shubb.com/service/radii.html The OP was seeking input on high end capos. You prefer the Heritage, I do not. I don't understand why you take it as a personal attack that I don't agree with you? At least I have owned/used a Heritage and speak from first hand experience and am not bad mouthing a device which I haven't ever tried. As for raining on the parade, hello pot, I'm kettle. |

I remember reading that article by Rick Shubb a while back. I will say that I have not had any issues with my Elliotts or my Shubbs in terms of the changing radii. My two best guitars each have a compound radius and the capos do work well from the 1st fret though the 9th fret though I seldom capo above the 6th fret. A guitar player in my songwriting group has both a Martin and a Telecaster and loves the Heritage.
There are so many good choices out there for capos no matter your personal choice. I have had the Elliotts for so long and I am very used to them on my best guitars. I switch off now and then but always come back to the Elliotts. It is amazing how many more capo choices there are now than even 10 years ago. Cheers to choices! Best, Jayne |

I’ve never mentioned “personal attack”, nor have I participated in any “bad mouthing” of “a device I haven’t used”. I’ve read the Shubb article. It’s everything I would expect from him. Relax. Decaf might be the answer.

I had earlier posted asking if the katz eyz capos were still in production as i found am older umgf post that said they were not. But i then found a banjo forum in 2016 that had many favourable posts on the capos still in production.
Do i take it that the capos are still in production? I may add to my growing capo collection in the future if that is so lol

Excuse me, but is this the right room for an argument?
