I'm finally learning to slow down on the attempts at self-improvement and put more effort into trying to pass on my findings ;) For one thing I've tried a lot of capos over the decades, and used a number of them on different instruments routinely, but was always disappointed by their effect on tuning, except for the Sabine capo which is long out of production: https://reverb.com/item/2776684-sabine-capo-1980s https://reverb.com/item/2776684-sabine-capo-1980s https://umgf.com/wtb-sabine-capo-remember-these-late-70-s-80-see-pi-t8844.html https://umgf.com/wtb-sabine-capo-remember-these-late-70-s-80... These were precise enough to use on an electric guitar without having to adjust tuning. Anyway, the hard plastic did deteriorate with age a long time ago so NOS they are not good any more either. I didn't really depend on it anyway, usually only using it to play tunes that were originally recorded with a capo, or to accommodate a vocalist's preferred key. It sure makes it easy to play in any key, whether sharp, flat, or natural, which is a very worthwhile thing to do. So worthwhile that I set an objective to be able to play in any key without a capo. This is not as easy. It took a few years but eventually when a singer was putting on their own capo I was not doing that and ready to play with the bare hands no matter what. Not that I'm a real musician, I need tricks like this to make me sound better than I actually am, and I admit it ;)
