I like that this capo allows very precise setting of the clamping force applied.
The mechanical design is brilliant, and marvelously simple.
However, for my Taylor 615, it appears that the radius may be slightly off and the clamping bar seems just a TINY bit on the short side. My bass E string seems to get pulled slightly sharp, and if I'm not very careful about positioning, one or the other of the outside strings will slip out from under the rubber on the bar when I start playing.
Once I readjust the tuning with the capo on, I seem to be able to move it up and down the neck without further retuning, but the higher up I go, the easier for the outer strings to miss the bar. I have to retune when removing the capo again.
I was really hoping the radius would be spot on, and that with careful clamping force adjustment, the capo wouldn't pull the guitar out of tune. So though this capo is very nice, I'm still searching for my "perfect 5."
