Strum Hollow 5th String Banjo Capo

To be honest, I didn't expect much from this simple device. In fact, I didn't think it would work. But I figured for such a low price, I'd roll the dice. But it works great! Simple to use, with ZERO modifications to my banjo.Great product!

Aside from the fact that this capo is so small and easy to lose, it does exactly what it's meant to do and very well. I found I can keep it attached to the 4th string above the nut when not needed as a capo and it doesn't buzz or affect sound quality there. When used as a 5th string capo it enables a clear sound as good as a spike or retuning. I bought a 2nd one just in case I misplace the first. I did already lose the first purchase, but found it again on the floor near my instrument stand. Apparently I had not tightened it enough on the 4th string above the nut when "storing" it. Great invention; love it.

This thing just works. I debated on adding spikes to my fretboard but figured I’d give this a shot first. I have to say, I’m glad I did! It’s very handy and can simply clamp onto a string on the headstock when not in use.

This worked OK especially for gentle playing. I play clawhammer a lot and that causes me to dig in a lot on the 5th string. This has a tendency to move/rattle a little bit. After a few weeks of occasional use the felt pad came off.Overall this felt pretty loose. But still was fun to have, since it's not destructive. I think some sort of rubber pad would work better and provide more stability when this is on.

This little 5th string banjo capo was just what we were looking for. Love that it is hand-crafted from a small USA business owned by legit musicians! Came with an instruction card on how to apply it to the string properly; works beautifully. My banjo-pickin' daughter is thrilled with this. Thank you, Ken and Trisha!

I was searching multiple marketplaces for an affordable option for capo’ing my 5th string. This was by far the most affordable, and I have to say I love it. I was concerned that with as tall as it is, it would always make my string sharp, but since it actually sits just behind the fret, it compensates for itself. It is easy to use, and comes with a lovely little pouch that has saved me from losing my picks I also enjoyed the little note from the makers. Even if they arent local to me, it’s nice I was able to support a local business. I highly recommend.

Great, just worried to lose it

It is easy to use- also potentially easy to lose because it’s tiny. I strongly recommend it if you need one. Great capo!
