SHUBB C7b D-Tune Capo, Brass

plain brass, original design

Model C7 and C7B.

I was introduced to the concept of partial capoing many years ago by the great acoustic 
guitarist Harvey Reid and by Jeff Hickey, who developed the Third Hand capo 
(an elastic capo designed exclusively for partial capoing). These guys both were users of
Shubb capos for "regular" capoing, but were WAY into the possibilities of partial capoing. 
In addition to using a Third Hand, I noticed that Harvey had modified one of his Shubb capos 
by cutting it down so that it skipped the outside string and covered only the next three. 
He got some really wonderful sounds with this partial capo. Shortly thereafter I saw Chris 
Proctor using one he had customized, evidently inspired by Harvey.

A few years later I met Adrian Legg, who was introduced to me by John Pearse as
"the best guitar player in Europe," which is no exaggeration. I noticed that he, too, was using a 
sawed-off Shubb capo quite a lot, as an integral part of his amazing guitar style.

Adrian, Harvey, Chris, and Jeff had urged me for quite some time to put an end to this wanton 
mutilation of Shubb capos, and to actually make one ourselves that would do the job.

It wasn't good enough to just cut off a portion of our guitar capo; we built a crook into the 
frame that allows the capo to clearly skip the outside string without buzzing, while 
covering the next three. Then we altered the pad to line up with this new geometry. 
We nicknamed the odd looking new capo the Dogleg because of its angular bend. 
We didn't use that name officially when it went to market, but for a few years we 
still called it the Dogleg around the shop.

In 1995 we introduced our partial capo, and it has been growing in popularity ever since.

It skips the outside string and covers the next three, either 2-3-4 or 5-4-3 (emulating DADGAD tuning)

Partial capoing is NOT the same as open

SHUBB F1 FINETUNE HIGH END CAPO

The FineTune is mechanically different from all our other capos. Being screw-operated, it can remain on the guitar 
(behind the nut) when not in use; a popular feature with bluegrass players.

'We have been making guitar capos for nearly forty years, utilizing our patented over-center locking principle.
Its action most closely resembles that of the human hand, and we are confident that it is the most accurate 
capo in the world. Many of the top players will use nothing but a Shubb.'

We have also been aware of some players who will always prefer a U-shaped, screw operated capo that can be 
stored behind the nut while not in use. For these players, we have now designed the Shubb Fine Tune Capo. 
It represents the highest quality of craftsmanship and materials, and offers a few unique 

- Its innovative adjusting knob makes it the most ergonomic screw-operated capo.
- The knob maintains a fixed relationship with the frame, for improved ease of use, and for 
  the lowest profile when stored behind the nut.
- The knob's six surfaces are numbered, providing a visual reference to more easily and accurately 
  reproduce your ideal pressure.
- Greater contact area between screw, frame, and knob ensures that the fit will never become 
  loose and sloppy.
- Specially developed rubber padding adds resilience to the capo’s closing action for finer control, 
  and being absolutely inert, it will not mark an instrument.
- Rubber bumpers and smoothly rounded edges protect the instrument.
- Improved jeweler’s style latch prevents accidental opening.
- Carefully machined to the closest thread tolerance.
- Highly polished stainless steel with attractive abalone inlay.
- All models have been thoroughly tested on many vintage instruments, including 30s, 40s, and 50s Martins, 
  30s Gibsons, and most of the popular contemporary instruments, to ensure the best fit and performance.

The FineTune Capo is not available through our conventional wholesale distribution network. It is available only 
at a few select retail stores and websites, and directly from us here online.

Replacement sleeves: our FineTune capos use a different sleeve than our other capos While one of our standard
replacement sleeves CAN be used on a FineTune capo, it is thicker-walled, and will slightly alter the closing action 
of the capo. Unless you are specifically seeking more padding and a softer feel when closing, we suggest that you 
use the replacement sleeve that is made for the FineTune capo.
