  Overall Opinion

  This is definitely my newest favorite capo, and for good reason. One of those reason is, quite frankly, the price. It's a little bit less expensive than the inexplicably popular Keyser capos that everybody seems to love, and it's a lot less than some of the higher-end capos out there. I've never had much desire to spend more than $20 on a capo, especially since they tend to disappear on me quite often. This is one of the nicer ones I've tried. If I had to compare it to any capo, I'd pick the Keyser standard capo. This capo is better than that for two main reasons. One is the design. The Keysers are just way too big, the ornate top part of the handle always gets in my way when I'm playing near the capo on the fretboard. This capo has a design where the handle resides mostly behind the neck, so it's far away from your hand when you're trying to play. Another aspect of this capo that I really like is the fact that it's not quite as strong as the Keysers. This is good because those Keyser capos tend to sneakily grab the strings and bend them slightly, leaving your guitar pretty horribly out of tune. This capo can do that if you aren't careful, but after a readjustment or two (or just being slightly careful in the first place), there's not too much to worry about. The keyser capos require a good two minutes of adjustment to keep intonation normal, which is a pain in the rear end, especially when you are playing a concert. I also prefer the sleeker, less ornate silver capo to the standard black and gold ones. This is mainly because while the capos usually stay in good shape functionally, they start to rust and lose the luster after some time. With the silver ones, it only looks cooler rusty. There's not a whole lot of variety in capos, so I feel like it's not too hard to find the best one. For the price range I feel like shopping in, this is the best I've found.

  Overall Opinion

  I have used this capo for many years and I am still using it. I have recently discovered the G7th and do think they are much better than the 'trigger' design of these Dunlop Capos. But then they also cost twice as much.
  
  What I like most about the Dunlop capos is that they are pretty lightweight, sturdy and don't really cost a lot. If you compare it to models by Kyser I think that Dunlop has put a lot more thought into their design. Kyser are of very good quality as well - but they are quite big and the spring is pretty heavy. This doesn't allow for quick installation as strings often get out of tune when so much pressure is applied.
  
  The Dunlop capo has in my opinion just enough pressure to ensure a good sound while keeping the pressure on the neck closer to what an actual guitarist would achieve with his hand.
  
  
  
  As for capos please don't invest in a cheap one - especially when you play steelstring guitars. They simply won't last and you will never be able to get a good sound. These Trigger Capos are not much more expensive but are definitely of much better quality.
  
  As I said - I prefer the G7th but would never give this capo away.

  I use a for 1 year. C easy to use, and ca dfausse not the guitar. MODEL I had a strap, and c boring as death. In addition, after a while the strap remains in place ... Well, a bit pricey c, c, but a choice I do not regret

  Overall Opinion

  Bon ben is a good capo, say the only one with whom we do not pete a cable (or rope lol!).
  
  
  
  Placed in 1 second, it holds well and the agreement is impeccable!
  
  
  
  To make a bend rope tends to remain stuck at the top is the only problem but as usually we use a capo to make arrangements no problem!
  
  
  
  In addition to cheap!
  
  
  
  He tired a little over time especially if used on a guitar neck heavy, I'm going to change after 5 years of loyal service. . .
  
  
  
  Another tip: it can be stored on top of the guitar to a fast increase in LIVE!
  
  
  
  The choice of a capo no shit!

  Overall Opinion

  To date the only capo capo MRIT name (the other capos with Lanir derrire passing the handle bar is in the poop)
  
  
  
  It arises in one second, one hand.
  
  
  
  The sound is nickel, the pressure has a uniform, and comes from above, perpendicular to the handle, the strings are prsses without twisting and without bend (with more conventional capos, strings tend be pulled up or down the handle, so the rating change, and the guitar sounds wrong)
  
  
  
  19 euros new, it is beautiful and strong, it's worth sre, the other capos should be banned the sale so that it is the most tip top

  Overall Opinion

  Trs well done, quick install or remove, solid and everything.
  
  For off-road use (use on guitar as weight machine, mine has three hard years, may be even 4!)
  
  
  
  a is expensive (~ 25 euros) but worth it!
