While it’s a commonly held belief that capos are “one-size-fits-all” tools, it’s actually the case that different variations of the humble design serve different purposes – and finding the right capo for your particular playing style and setup is key to ensuring solid tuning and intonation.
One such capo that can help beginners and seasoned strummers alike achieve just that is Kyser’s Low-Tension Quick-Change Acoustic Guitar Capo – a deceptively simple yet smartly crafted capo that specifically caters to those who prefer lower actions and easier key changes.
With a lighter grip coming from 25 percent less spring tension, the Low Tension capo provides a more deft touch to your strings, and the reduced pressure on your guitar’s neck means that strings are less likely to be pulled out of tune, minimizing the need to continually re-tune.
Kyser’s Low Tension capo – which is available in matte black – isn’t just suitable for those who are already able to navigate their low-action fretboard with ease.
For beginners and players with arthritis and other hand ailments, the capo can be clipped on and off with greater ease, and makes for a far easier key changing experience when compared to other alternatives that place greater pressure on your instrument’s ‘board.
Loyal Kyser customers who may struggle with intonation and tuning issues using the company’s standard Quick-Change Acoustic Guitar Capo will also find solace in the Low-Tension alternative, which will add greater versatility to their arsenal of acoustic accessories.
