Shubb SHUBB-FSB-LB - Banjo 5th String Capo Brass (Long Bar)

This was the product that got it all started for us back in 1974, and to this day it's still the only 5-string capo worth putting on a banjo. It operates on a lever principle, not a spring, so it provides sufficient pressure to fret the string without muting the tone. It slides on a slim, dovetailed bar which mounts flush to the neck, making it sturdy and unobtrusive. Our fifth string capo bar is eight inches long, allowing the player to capo all the way up to the 13th fret.
