I have been using a capo of another brand for many years that wasn't specifically designed for a classical guitar so when I saw that this one, I thought I should give it a try. From the moment I first used it, the sound was greatly improved from my classic guitar, I wish I had had this sooner. Now I will buy more equipment so I can record the better sound. The device is simple and easy to use just like the one I had before but this one is also slightly wider and thicker, just right for a wider necked classic guitar and it has a wider rubber pad which gives wider pressure to the strings which I think is why it gives a better sound. As an amateur guitarist I would recommend this to other players like myself and possibly even to professional players.
