Crafted of stainless steel, its roller mechanism provides ultimately smooth operation. When the Shubb Capo was first introduced in 1980, capos were elevated to a whole new level. In 1998 the Shubb Deluxe pushed the envelope again. How could the original Shubb capo be improved? Material: Stainless steel resists wear and nicks. It will look as beautiful years from now as it does today. Ergonomics: The restyled lever is easier to handle while opening and closing. Design: The new roller further reduces wear, while adding smoothness to the opening and closing action. The roller engages in a track, ensuring precise alignment.
