I have played for almost 10 years and have been through tons of capos. I purchased this capo after having been through what feels like 1000 others. I was hectic to buy because it is a screw on mechanism but was pleasantly rewarded when I found how snugly this capo fit, and it is the perfect size, No more bulky spring loaded capo. Fits right into my gig bag, or my pocket. This is an AWESOME product and I'd refer it to any player and any skill level. 5 Stars!
