Shubb's Fifth String Nickel-Plated Capo for Banjo operates on a lever principle, not a spring, thereby providing enough pressure to hold the string solidly in place without muting the tone. It slides on a slim, dovetailed bar which mounts flush to the neck, making it sturdy and unobtrusive. The compact bar requires only two mounting screws and occupies less space on the neck than our earlier version.
