Hi there, fingerbraking frends!

Wen I fisit Spain, I mostly buy a souvenir for myself, a cejilla, a wooden capo, or capodastre. I mean, the flamenco one.
Mostly I save them.

Last time, I saw a cd rom of Paco de Lucia. And he is still using the old cejilla's.
Paco Pena does the same, allthough I saw on a foto.

Do you perhaps know if there is a benefit of using the wooden capo's or is it just beatiful
to see?

Peter,
I prefer the Dunlop because I find the wooden thumb turn limits the use of some chords, I'm thinking about the alternate b flat shape (in Tab) 110110. They are however very beautiful to behold.
Cheers
Jim.

After you use a Shub capo, you will never change. Nothing better in my view.

Hi Peter:

It is true. The cejilla is not the best choice as a capo device. They can slip, and the leather strip under the wooden piece does not make as good of a barr as compared to the rubber on Shubb and Dunlop capos.

Still, I agree with you. They are beautiful works of art. I have several and I use them. Some of the prettiest I have found are available through Conde Hermanos on Felipe V in Madrid.

Regards,
Paul

Hi Peter,
I've got a couple of those old style wood and nylon cejillas lying around somewhere as well.
They're OK..they do the job, but I think the Dunlop is more practical.

Is it just me, or does the word "Capodastre" give you a slight cringing sensation in the lower body parts?

"The Inquisition shall require that a full confession is made within the hour....otherwise we will be obliged to use the.....Capodastre....!!"

LOL!

Yep, like the man said...

I'd really like to get one of those traditional capos as they look cool, but the Shubb is discrete, practical, hard wearing, fully adjustable, very clever design, quick release, etc etc..

I've been gigging with mine for about a year and a half now, can't imagine wanting another capo.

Ron,
You're too young to remember the Inquisition, might be you've had one of those recollections from a previous existance, maybe you used to be one of those early flamencos playing that oll' devil's music!
Cheers
Jim.

Thanks for your reply's!
I too use a shubb capo, but I was just wondering why the wooden cejilla"s were still used by the pro's
I figured, maybe for the lighter weight, or they do not like to use metal too much.

And for Ron, my lower body parts are still in tact last time I looked!

greetings, Peter.
