D'Addario NS Tri-Action Capo, Black

Capo’s come in many shapes and sizes and vastly different levels of quality (for different usage scenarios and needs) so it’s important to think about your own requirements. I wanted something simple to operate but very well crafted and made out premium materials. Naturally, it primarily needs to be very good at creating a clean pure sound and staying put when positioned, and this is the nicest solution I’ve encountered. I particularly like that it’s very sleek and low profile (doesn’t stick out or get in the way as with other clumsy designs I’ve seen)! The materials are wonderful and very premium. A gorgeous aluminium body and a rubber grip, with a nicely damped, twisting mechanism. This allows you to apply the ideal pressure that’s solid, but also quick to position and remove. With care it should last a lifetime and is equally useful for guitar setup whilst laying on desktop as well scale/key augmentation. I really like it!

The best capo I have ever used. Everything about this capo is perfect. Its minimal size means it’s not in the way when you are playing right next to it. It’s also very light. It’s super easy and quick to fit The micro adjustment means it’s easy to get the perfect sound without any buzz. The unique way of tensioning the clamp also means you get an even clamp across all strings. I’ve tried this in various guitars with different shaped fretboards and gauges of strings. It works perfectly each time. But most importantly there are no tuning issues at all. Wherever you place the capo, you can instantly play in tune. No more retuning a fraction to bring all the strings back into line. I wish I’d got one of these a long time ago. PS. I went for the more expensive metal version, partly because of looks, but also for robustness

This is a great quality well designed capo by D’Addario & I wouldn’t have expected less from them. Quick release & selectable spring strength are brilliant so is the quality of the materials used in the making of the product, there’s a little capo holder on there & I’ve personally never seen that before. I’ve had absolutely no issues with this product it’s quality, it really is.

Bought for someone as a Christmas present on the basis it has received many good reviews. Can't say I disagree with previous reviews - it appears of good build quality and recipient of gift is made up with the item. Appears a great product, prompt delivery - no issues

I have a guitar that's a little out of whack, and the strings buzz really badly unless clamped down on the third fret or higher. This does that so well! Being able to change the tension is probably key to it, and this is really ready to do that. It is a quality piece of kit, fixing the issue on my guitar (I love playing the key of C shapes at capo 3 anyway). It works well on my competent guitars too! If day is h good value for money.

i got this and the Shubb deluxe and D'Addario NS Capo Lite, and the NS Tri Action is the best of all, you can easily store in on the headstock, easily apply it on the strings, the rubber touching the strings are longer than the Shubb so you can just pop it on and will cover all the 6 strings but Shubb has smaller rubber part and you have to look at it and adjust it to make sure that it is properly on which is very annoying and the Shubb is doesnt have the quick trigger and also hard to store it on the headstock, so the TRi action wins in everything, and also easily adjustable tension. One thing to note is that the sound of the guitar will change no matter what capo are you using, the human finger is soft and filled with blood which is water mostly, it attenuates the sound differently (more) than a piece of rubber, the strings will have almost this rotary sine wave effect (like on electric guitar effects), for experiments the best is to apply the capo on the 4TH fret and i will give the guitar a totally different sound, like a smaller bodied guitar even a bit like sitar a tiny bit. Every capo will put the tuning off a tiny bit but with the adjustable tension this is minimized so i dont retune with the capo on. Also intonation is is highly effected by temp, humidity and age of the string, unfortunatly a good Elixir 12-53 will become hard, discolored, and frayed at the age of 3 weeks only if you play like 4 hours everyday.

This capo is very pricey... but the fact that I can just stick it straight on a twelve string during a gig and actually get on with playing the song rather than spending the next two minutes wrestling it back in tune makes it worth every penny. And I can stick it on any guitar I own, electric or acoustic, and do the same because it just works. I haven't had it long so it remains to be seen if the flexible 'finger' pad material will hold up over years of use. If that hardens then it does sort of render the whole thing pointless, so it's a concern. Also some people have mentioned the screw mechanism failing, but it's unclear if that's the fault of the capo, or if they're just brutes (very rock n roll to be fair). But I've never had any issues with d'addario gear falling apart, and they do have a lifetime warranty, so I'm not too worried. If it does fail I will update this review.

Decoded to buy a new Capo as mine was super old, and was pinching the strings too tightly, causing my guitar to sound slightly off. This capo is really well made and super easy to move around the neck. I fit my Tanglewood perfectly, especially at the back of the neck, which only means a more evenly spread pressure. The pick holder is a nice touch. Great for a back up pick if you rock too hard and it flies across the stage. I dunno if its a kind of placeabo effect but my guitar sounds alot better with this capo than my last. The micro adjustment is easy to dial in and i’ve tried seeing the results. Higher up the neck my strings where slightly buzzing so i applied a little but more tension and id eradicated it. Winner in my book. Even if it is a bit pricey

D'addario brand is really a quality brand

Easy to use. Great quality. Looks the part and just works.

Tanto para guitarra acústica de cuerdas de metal como para guitarras de 12 cuerdas, excelente, conserva muy bien la afinación y las cuerdas sueltas suenan bastante bien

Es original y La calidad es muy buena, es la primera vez que compro un capo de este Calibre... Recomendado, se puede ajustar la tensión y la verdad es muy fácil de usar ya que se necesita menos fuerza... Actualmente lo uso con una guitarra acustica con unas Elixir Calibre 12-53 Nota: la opción del "pick holder" esta buena 👍🏻👍🏻

Ich hatte jahrelang einen Shubb-Capo für die 6-saitige Western und einen etwas längeren Shubb für die 12-string. Damit war ich immer halbwegs zufrieden. Die Erhaltung der Stimmung nach dem Montieren war gut aber irgendwie waren mir die beiden beim Spielen immer im Weg. Deswegen wollte ich mal was Neues probieren. Der Planet Waves PW-CP-02S NS ist so klein, dass nichts mehr im Weg sein kann und ausserdem passt er für beide Gitarren. Auf dem 50er-Hals meiner Telecaster mit dem 7,25"-Radius am Griffbrett funktioniert er auch perfekt. Also beide Daumen hoch! Zur Haltbarkeit kann ich noch nichts sagen.
