My old capo had a nut on the very bottom which was always in the way so I had to reach around it making chords hard to play. This capo has the nut off to the side and is more out of the way, I'm able to hold chords like I would without a capo on. I didn't know how much of a pain the old capo was until I got this one. I would recommend it to any one playing mandolin, banjo or even the Uku.

I purchased this capo for my Blueridge BR-40T Guitar. This is my second d’addario capo. I adore the ukulele capo of the same design. It fits all 6 of my Ukuleles sopranino to Tenor sized. I was hoping this one would be similar, and it is very similar, however it only works on the fretboard from the first to the fifth fret. Lower than the fifth fret and it won’t reach the 1st string. I use Chicago tuning so the “e” string. I have a Kyser guitar capo that I love in my 6string guitars, but it puts so much pressure on the strings of my Teno because of the depth of the neck. I bought this capo because it was adjustable and because it had a nondescript profile on the instrument, but imho the top of the capo, that engages the strings, needs to be 1/4” longer and the depth possibly 1/8” greater. That way as it is moved down the neck it continues to engage all of the strings. Read full review

The U Shape of the mandolin requires this exact style capo. I've tried guitar capos = way too bulky in size. I've tried banjo and ukelele size = they simple do not fit. Too small. So... if you want a 'true' mandolin capo that does the job with ease... this is what you what.

Best capo I have ever used. Small in size which make it easy to use. Does not affect tuning of the mandolin.

I use this on my mandolin, it is quick, easy to attach and makes clean contact with the fret. Most importantly for me it takes very little space and doesn't get in the way of my hand.
