My first capo over 40 years ago was one of those with the woven nylon strap that had grommeted holes to fit over the pin the plastic sleeve was on. It worked on some frets, but not others, being too tight sometimes, too loose other times.
Probably didn't use a capo again until the mid-80s, when I got a spring-loaded one.
Current one I use is a Kyser spring-loaded, it's wide enough to use on my 12-string. It also knocks the guitar out of tune (intonation) due to the incorrect pressure it puts on the strings.
I'm looking at the Shubb C1 or S1 - but it looks really large on the 'behind the neck' section - the arm that presses against the neck PLUS the release arm.
Also looking at the G7th Performance - twice the price, but one-handed operation.
I don't like the type of capo that yo uhave to tighten up wiht a wheel every time you move it - takes too long to make changes.
