This was the gadget that got it all started for us back in 1974, and to this day it's STILL the only fifth string capo worth putting on a banjo.
It operates on a lever principle, not a spring, so it provides sufficient pressure to fret the string without muting the tone.
It slides on a slim, dovetailed bar which mounts flush to the neck, making it sturdy and unobtrusive.
Originally, our fifth string capo bar was eight inches long, and attached to the banjo neck with three mounting screws.
About three years ago we remodeled the bar, a change which I'd considered for many years.
I've noticed that I never capo the fifth string any higher than the tenth fret (this would go along
I have one that gold plated and one chrome.
Enclosed with two screws.
with the regular capo being at the fifth fret) ...
there simply is always a better alternative to capoing any higher than this.
So for my own banjo, I made a custom bar which was much shorter (5.75").
Now we've made the shorter bar our standard size.
Besides taking up less space on the neck (for you fellow thumb-wrappers), it offers the additional advantage of using only TWO mounting screws instead of three.
