Jim Dunlop 88B Trigger Capo Clas, Black

Easy to use, and it seems durable. I play an acoustic guitar and it works fine for me.

It’s just OK.

Works great, I use it all the time for my classical guitar.

I used this for some complicated classical pieces! Amazing!

This is the first capo that fit my classical guitar, although so the other ones were advertised to do the same. Very happy with it.

Have used this capo for around 6 months with my classical guitar. It is well constructed with a nice black finish and seems very durable. It secures the strings with no buzzing up to the 5th fret (the highest fret I've capoed), but realize that this model is made for a guitar with a flat, not radiused, fretboard. Some newer cross-over classical-looking guitars actually have radiused fretboards, and this capo probably would not work effectively with those. I paid $15.99 for it, but notice there is another Dunlop black classical guitar capo listed for around $1.00 less. Can anyone tell me what the difference is? The pictures look identical, although the other one does not have the designation "88B." The only flaw in the item was a deep scratch in the black finish, probably made during assembly when the strong spring was fitted--Dunlop needs to improve their assemby QC. Also, a note of caution: If you use this capo with an expensive guitar handle it securely! Once I was careless putting the capo on with my left hand (my non-dominant hand). The capo slipped, and the spring recoiled sending it flying within inches of ricocheting off of my guitar. Because is it hefty aluminum, the capo would have left a painful ding in the finish. Similar caution is advised when removing it from your guitar. Overall a very nice capo, and it sure beats chopsticks and rubberbands.

This capo introduced me to a broader range off tones and chords!

I am a guitar teacher and use a capo every day. I have been using dunlop capos for years years. The main reason is I like that they have a lower profile in the front where my fingers are. It doesn't seem to get in the way as much as other capos that I have used. I recommend this capo to all of my students... and you! I have worn one of these out (it took about 4 years to wear the spring out). Understand that I literally use it multiple times every day so if you are a recreational player and only use it no and again: it will last a life time.

works very well

Does the trick..

I have a Shubb and a Kyser capo that are for the classical guitar. They are both good capos. I had found the Kyser classical guitar capo spring was not as strong on the 1st fret so I decided to buy the Dunlop classical guitar capo. I found the Dunlop capo really hard to clamp down. The spring is strong but holding down the capo hurt my hand. I would not recommend it for classical guitar. I also play acoustic guitar and I would recommend Shubb, Kyser and Kliq capos for the acoustic guitar.

Tengo otro igual para guitarra eléctrica que no se adaptaba tan bien por la curvatura, pero este es plano y va perfecto en mi guitarra española (diapasón plano).

En rachetant un capodastre il y a quelques mois, j'ai reçu un capo moins large que mon ancien, beaucoup plus petit. J'ai pensé que encore une fois on avait révisé à la baisse la qualité. Mais en réalité il y a plusieurs taille correspondant à des usages différents. Celui ci est bien large, solide et puissant et permet un blocage de qualité des cordes en prenant soin de votre manche et de vos oreilles ! Il est comme mon ancien. La marque Dunlop est souvent signe de qualité et c'est la cas.
