Kyser K-Lever Partial Capos
Hi, I'm Greg O'Haver and I am a touring member of the New Christy Minstrels. I designed the Kyser K-Lever Series of Partial Capos. They include;
Drop-D,
Double Drop-D,
DADGAD,
and Open-G
These capos allow you to go to alternate tunings without re-tuning your guitar, learning new chord forms [thought you can if you want to] and all four capos feature the K-Lever. The K-Lever allows you to push down (also hammer-on or pull-off) un-fretted bass strings The result is beautiful chord voicings and sounds you can only achieve with these capos. Check out these demos on YouTube.

They are great for songwriting, live performance and recording. The first night that Phil Keaggy played with these he wrote three new songs. Imagine being able to go to four different alternate tunings in any key without retuning your guitar.
The less time spent tuning on stage, the more fun on stage.

Dave Thomson said… - Hi Greg, You said 'Hi' to me quite a while ago. Thankyou for that...it was appreciated greatly.Haven't been doing much guitar-wise for a while but have committed to 2010 as the year I getback into doing whats needed....the fingertips have softened so much!!!! I've never really used a capo..was into barre-cords but can see where a capo would be of an advantage and yours looks really good. Are they available in in New Zealand through a local(?) store or only through you in the USA? Cheers Dave
