The Original design Shubb capo in plain, unplated brass. The
brass will darken as it ages.
A few years ago Shubb upgraded the original nickel plated Shubb
capo, giving it the roller design, and a more streamlined look and feel. But
whenever you change something, some people will prefer the original. So for
those who still want the “classic” — the original Shubb capo as it has been for
over 40 years — Shubb is continuing to make the ORIGINAL Shubb capo available
in plain brass.
Plain, unplated brass will darken in time. For those of us who
appreciate brass, we prefer this look; reminiscent of an old microscope, or a
piece of gear from a sailing ship. But if you like your brass to shine, it can
be polished with a cloth and most any commercial metal polish.
The original, plain brass capo is a natural for those who fancy
a retro look.
Since 1980 the Shubb capo has set the standard against which all
others must be measured. It is the first choice … often the only choice… of
more than a million musicians worldwide. The serious guitarist will settle for
no less.
