NS Artist Classical Capo by D'Addario

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

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.

Very solid construction despite being slim. The adjustment mechanism is very good. A little on the expensive side but should last a lifetime.

Small size, ideal for a ukulele. Very easy to use, light but feels sturdy. Possibly a bit pricey

This is the most amazing Capo I have ever used. I watched a YouTube video on it, I have a lot of capos and my go to was a Thalia that cost a fortune from the states, it was good but not perfect. This is perfect. I play a J200 acoustic and it would not only be slightly out of tune but I felt the tone hated a capo after the second fret. I put on the pro plus and it was night and day. 2nd, 3rd, 5th & 7th fret no retuning and the tone was better than I’ve ever heard it with a capo on. I can’t begin to tell you how amazed I am at this capo, it’s in my case now and it will be the one I reach for. The price is great it does exactly what it says, so if your a guitarist that uses a capo you will not regret buying this one

Lightweight, easy to use and the mouldable consistency of the ‘rubber’ cushion seems to make for a good fit. I bought this to replace older capos on which the ‘rubber’ cushion has become harder and leaves permanent grooves in the surface. The durability is something that only time will tell, but, for now, just exactly as needed. UPDATE: 2nd April 2025 Sadly the adjust screw cap has snapped off after very little use. I only received this on 12th February 2025 and whilst using on a 12 string guitar and removing tension the capo knob on the adjuster came off. Initially I thought it just need screwing back on but, alas it is completely detached from the screw stem with no means available to me to fix it back on. Having read further reviews it would seem to be not so rare occurrence. Disappointing product from such a well renowned company. Returned for a refund - no sense in opting for a replacement in these circumstances.

Screw came off within two weeks of purchase. Worked well until then, but clearly this is poorly made. Sent back for a refund

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
