Product Description

This Kyser Quick-Change capo is specifically made for the necks of smaller instruments like banjos, ukuleles, and mandolins. With a much smaller body, no radius, and lighter spring tension than the original Kyser Quick-Change capo, it’s the perfect fit for the neck of your banjo, ukulele, and mandolin. This Kyser Quick-Change capo is expertly engineered and built to last. It is reliable and does just what it is designed to do — clearly raise the pitch of your banjo, ukulele, and mandolin so you can play in a different key without retuning or changing fingering. Seasoned professionals and beginning players alike appreciate how the Kyser Quick-Change capo helps them transpose their instrument in seconds, with only one hand. The beauty of the Kyser Quick-Change is in its simplicity. Kyser pioneered this design and although often imitated, a Kyser is never equaled. There is no substitute for a genuine Kyser Quick-Change capo. Made by hand in Texas, USA. Guaranteed for life.

Customers like the fit of the capo. They mention it fits great, perfectly on their tenor banjos, and is the right size for the neck of their soprano ukulele. It also fits tightly across the strings and is small enough to slip into their case. Some say the bigger ones are wonderful on guitars.

Customers like the tension level of the nut. They say it holds the strings tightly against the frets, and doesn't bend them. The tension is strong, but it doesn''t over do it.

5 Stars
Finally found the right capo for my banjos!
I have always loved the Kyser capos because they are manipulated from the front of the neck, not the back. Other capos get in the way of my hand on the back of the neck. But I have always used guitar-sized capos on my banjos until I found this little gem. It is sturdy, and easy to move, without hampering my ability to play. And it fits perfectly on my tenor banjos!
