I don't know, Richie, I think these new heavier Scheerhorn capos are a 2
hand operation, regardless. Gotta admit, I was sold on the capo when I saw
a picture of Rob Ickes with one attached to his strap and I thought about
not having to fumble in a pocket again. Never thought about the mass of the
capo only affecting open strings. I gotta think about that one a bit.
Ouch, now I've got a headache. See what you've done . . .
Cheers,
Jim N.
