This wooden capo exudes the characteristic weight and warmth of ebony. A unique, one-of-a-kind item, recommended for those who appreciate the craftsmanship! Meticulously crafted using select ebony. Wooden capos are a favorite among flamenco guitarists. The pegs are also made of ebony with inlay decoration, giving a luxurious feel. *Ebony is a hard, heavy wood with a very dense grain, known for its high-quality appearance and durability, making it a highly regarded material for capos. *This capo is finished with an oil finish (linseed oil, a plant-based oil), a method that protects the wood by allowing the plant oil to penetrate the wood's interior. This method is said to not impede the wood's expansion and contraction, and it is less likely to impair the humidity control function. *Occasionally, polish it with a dry cloth to bring out the shine. *The warmth of the wood is gentle on both your hands and your instrument, and after attaching the capo, you'll likely find a new perspective. *For those using this Spanish-style capo for the first time, a little practice and technique will be needed when attaching it. The technique involves: When attaching, instead of simply tightening the peg, get the capo as close to the fret as possible, press the capo firmly against the fingerboard with your left hand, and then wind and tighten the peg. The nylon string is set to a length that allows for attachment up to the high positions, but if it is excessively long, the grip will become loose and cause buzzing, so avoid excessive winding.
