A precise capo to change key without sacrificing playing comfort
The Shubb C5 "L'Original" is a capo designed for musicians who want to transpose instantly without crushing the strings or detuning the instrument. Thanks to its flat support, it is especially suitable for instruments equipped with a flat fingerboard, where even pressure on all strings makes all the difference: more accurate chords, cleaner barre chords, and a natural playing feel.
Its 38 mm width makes it an excellent choice for narrower necks and traditional folk-style instruments. Whether in the studio or on stage, it allows quick position changes while maintaining precise control over the applied pressure. The result: you can adjust the force according to string gauge and playing style (delicate arpeggios, strong rhythms), for a clear sound and controlled intonation.
Another advantage: its compatibility with most mandolins and bouzoukis. A simple, reliable, and musical accessory, perfect for accompanying a singer, exploring new keys, or rediscovering familiar chord shapes with a new tone.
