    Hi Tweedo,

    There are quite a few capos ranging from €6.00.

    Kyser Pro/Am €6.00. This is one with a screw to put onto the guitar
    Planet Waves Ratchet Capo €9.50. This one is a rachet style, you can clip it on easily and has a release button.
    Guitar Buddy Capo: €10.50. Quite like the Dunlop Trigger Capo and Kyser Quick Change
    Dunlop Trigger: €19.00. Quick change, easy to use
    Kyser Quick Change: €19.50. Again as above.
    G7th, excellent capo but €32.50 +


    Your two local lads are Future Sound and Vision and Savills. Also I think Steamboat maybe down by you too.

    I would recommend the Kyser Quick Change, Guitar Buddy or the Dunlop Trigger. Good quality, get clear tone too.

    +1 for the Kyser quick change. I got one a few months ago and it's the business.

    At the time Kyser also had an offer for 7 days free subscription to a site full of tutorial videos (jamplay.com) if you registered online. Handy for a learner such as myself.

    I'd also recommend the Kyser, I've had it for 2 years and all it's needed is a little drop of oil on the spring to stop it squeaking, great capo.

    I'v had this capo for around a year. It's done the job and i'v had no problems with it. A few of my friends have it and have said the same
