SHUBB FS Fifth String Capo for Banjo

The Shubb Fifth String Capo for Banjo

This was the product that got it all started for us back in 1974, and to this day it's 
STILL the only fifth string capo worth putting on a banjo. It operates on a lever principle,
not a spring, so it provides sufficient pressure to fret the string without muting the tone. 
It slides on a slim, dovetailed bar which mounts flush to the neck, making it sturdy and unobtrusive.


Originally, our fifth string capo bar was eight inches long, and attached to the banjo neck with 
three mounting screws. A few years ago we remodeled the bar, a change which I'd long considered. 
I personally never capo the fifth string any higher than the tenth fret (this would go along with 
the regular capo being at the fifth fret). So for my own banjo, I made a custom bar which was much 
shorter (5.75"). This shorter bar is now our standard size. Besides taking up less space on the neck 
(for you fellow thumb-wrappers), it offers the additional advantage of using only TWO mounting screws 
instead of three.

If you feel that you want to be able to capo all the way up to the thirteenth fret, the original 
eight inch, three-screw bar is still available. The price is the same.

The Shubb Capo company began in California in 1974, when Dave Coontz and I collaborated to design and produce a new fifth string capo for banjo. Before that, I worked as a professional 5-string banjo player and teacher, and Dave was an auto mechanic and a banjo student of mine. One night at his lesson, I was talking about my dissatisfaction with existing methods of capoing the fifth string. I described an idea that I had for a fifth string capo that operated on a lever principle, so that it would provide sufficient pressure for a good tone, and ranted about how I couldn’t get anyone in the music products trade interested in making one. Finally, he said “if nobody else will make you one, I will.”
