Has anyone tried the "Earl's Suspender Capo" from Deering Store? If so, how do you like it. There are no reviews on their site.

	RUSTYSTILL says: 8/20/2011 4:09:48 PM Looks a little cumbersome to me. I never really liked any I saw, especially not wanting to drill any holes in the neck of my Whyte Laydie or Calico. Found a really neat little capo. Check out the Regan capo at: elderly.com/accessories/items/RBC55.htm If you are like me you will think it won't provide a solid end block but it works great, nice crisp tone. A minor inconvenience is that after lots of use the felt on the bottom wears and creats noise as the capo vibrates......just add more felt. Also, if like me you need reading glasses or bi's and don't use them playing out, in darker clubs or halls or outside at night it's often hard to see and slip the capo over the 5th string quickly in between songs at gigs. Also, don't drop it in the grass . A great alternative to traditional capos IMO. Jim
