Only available from their website it says...so some might end up over here - depends if they appeal to UK tastes. A bit gaudy for me! Though maybe we could have a "Fabulous Capo" competiton at HB 16?

If anybody is interested I can order for them I would be very interested in that Chris. Personally I like the Blue Diamond one, or maybe the titanium one Maybe if enough of us are interested and club together it would reduce the costs? Robbie

I certainly like my two Shubb capos, I dread to think how much these lovely anniversary models might cost, but will wait with "baited (or is it bated) breath".

Shubb have obviously realised that people are prepared to spend significant money on a capo and have found a way to increase their profit margin without redesigning their product. Very clever.

I'll never understand the reverence for these things. I had one a few years ago, it got binned, bloody useless thing. Much prefer the spring type one I have.

I would venture to suggest, Larry, that whilst you might not have enjoyed your 'Shubb experience' there are plenty that find them exactly what is needed. It's not exactly reverence, it's just pleasure in, and loyalty (I guess) to, something that works (for those who like 'em)
