Slim-T-MARK Capo for Dobros and other Lap Guitars
This Capo is designed for use on 6 string lap type or square neck guitars or round neck with a Nut Riser to elevate the string height at the 1st fret to a minimum of 1/4 inch.
The Capo is made in my garage machine shop. The measurement from the 6th string to the 1st string
or the fret length should measure 2-1/4 inches or less.
The Capo main body is made from aircraft grade aluminum.
One tone bar is made from 300 series Stainless Steel.
The 2nd tone bar is made of hardened Naval Brass.
The player has the option to use either the stainless steel or the hardened brass tone bar, over the fret to be Capo'd. Simply rotate the Capo 180 degrees.
The muting bar has a 300 series stainless steel core and sleeved with a muting material.
The Capo is Intended for guitars with a minimum string height of 1/4 inch.
When installing the Capo on a guitar, the adjusting nut is loosened to separate the muting bar and the aluminum tone bars components, the muting bar is placed between the center two strings, then rotated and the tone bar is placed over the desired fret and hand tightened.
This Capo provides very good tone, sustain and volume and compares to higher priced Capos at lower cost.
The photos show this Capo on a quilted maple, Fairchild Dobro. Luthier Ray Fairchild passed away in 2023. The other Dobro and Mini Weissenborn guitars are available from Jack Stepick, Luthier. You see that the Capo is also mounted on my Rogue 6 string lap steel guitar.
