I bought one a while ago but I didnt understand how it is supposed to fit, because everytime I tie it, it pops out again! im sure im doing something wrong! anyone knows how to use it properly?
They should be called retarded capos instead of cejillas flamenca... Ok, some of the old ones look nice, but they limit the player in movements. And the one with the nipple on top just like it was carved out of an IKEA chair leg. Sorry.. but dunlop capos are unbeatable IMO.
yeah doit i would think something is wrong too. your like those two old guys in the balcony from the muppet show that just sit around and hang **** on everyone cause they hate themself cause they old, in your case i dunno why u hate yourself(maybe its cause your german? ). sorry Tony if you read doits comment but thats just his humour (i think???!!! ) i cant wait for my capo man, they truly are a work of art.
cause they hate themself cause they old, in your case i dunno why u hate yourself
Nah Dominic, Doit doesn't hate himself...he just likes grumbling. Nothing wrong with that IMO. I enjoy a good grumble myself, not because I'm old... but because being old means you've acquired more material to grumble about...
cheers,
Ron

caught me.. Im a little grumbler... When I have a bad day..... I spam the foro with worse comments.. Im sorry.. Cant hold back.. But here and there are some nice comments too,..or not? I think I should stop drinking vine in the evening..
Hey Tom, mine are "Unique Cejillas", not Isabella or any other piece of **** out there. I stopped making them cuz I don't have time; next thing I know, they copied mine even down to the inlay. BEWARE, I am not selling any cejillas right now, they're giving my cejillas a bad rap because I know they're nothing like mine except in appearance. Gonna call Brad shortly and send him to hell. And all for a couple bucks, what a bitch. Haha
ykabban. That's too bad and it angers me but what can you do? if you think about it, everyone copies everyone. Guitar makers copy other guitar makers but the original guitar maker is still the original. Traditional cejillas are copied all the time but the original guy who came up with this design is still the original guy. Paco's music is copied and immitated but the original, is still Paco.
'Unique Cejillas' are now being copied but the creator, ykabban, is still ykabban. Know what I mean? Well...gotta run, I'm copying a Santos
You're absolutely right Tom. I was angry, but I was also being a bit fecicious with my comments. No matter, I got bigger fish to fry. And yeah, I'm still ykabban, hahaha.
Brad and I exchanged e-mails and he has removed the cejillas from his site, despite my nasty comments. More than anything, I felt like an idiot when I saw those "Isabella" cejillas. And my mom's name is Isabella, so I was like wtf hahaha.
I know of others that are duplicating and selling my cejillas. But when I saw those on Strings By Mail, I was genuinely hurt, because I thought we had an understanding.
Jbash, I have taken steps to protect my design when I first conceived it, but at this point I'm kinda over it if you know what I mean.
Just received my cejilla from Tony Arnold this morning..(the carved one). It's absolutely delightful...it looks authentic antique and fits smoothly and securely. Sure the Dunlop is great, but the chrome part sort of bugs me visually, making it look like some sort of surgical instrument or appliance.
You spend a lot of time looking at the fretboard while you are playing and Tony's is quite inspirational, looking very Andalusian/Moorish.
Thanks Tony!
cheers,
Ron
