it was easier to put on without going slightly out of tune, Most brands of strings have a slightly thicker G string and a slightly thinner D. This means that when putting on a capo of any sort, the G gets stretched more, and the D less, so they tend to go sharp and flat respectively. As the strings wear grooves in the capo pad, the D string sometimes begins to buzz. At that point I sometimes slit the pad and superglue a thin sliver of leather under it only above the D string to insure that the pad compresses that string equally with all the other strings. In this way, you can tweak a capo so it compensates for string thickness and doesn't cause tuning problems. This compensation is, however, is dependent on the brand of string.
