I just recently purchased a Deering Sierra. I love the banjo! I used a Paige Capo on my old banjo, but I find that I can't easily slide it over the nut on the Sierra due to the "hump" behind the headstock. Any recommendations about how the Paige can work or recommendations of any other capo that can slide over the nut instead of removing it from the banjo. Thanks!

Though, I don't like the slippery, rounded sleeve of the Paige, so I'd also be interested if a different manufacturer has a deeper U-bend model. I also use the Shubb mostly, but as has been pointed out, I'm always aware that I might lose it. Hope someone has something good to offer here…
