1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Squeeze-on spring capo for flat-fretboard guitars. Fast one-handed changes mid-song, at the cost of adjustable tension.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Singer-songwriters changing keys between verses
- Players who want a capo on and off in one second
- Clipping to the headstock when not in use
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Curved radius fretboards — this one is flat
- Players who need to dial in exact tension per fret
- Classical or wide-neck instruments
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Trigger spring action
One hand opens and closes it. No screw to turn, so key changes happen between chords.
Detail 03
Fixed spring tension
You cannot soften it. Too much clamp near the nut can pull notes sharp and need retuning.
Detail 04
Black finish
Disappears against a dark fretboard on stage instead of catching light.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Retune after clamping — spring capos can pull strings slightly sharp
- 02Confirm your fretboard is flat, not radiused, before ordering
- 03Place it just behind the fret, not on top of it
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work on my acoustic?
Only if the fretboard is flat. Most steel-string acoustics are radiused, so check your neck first.
02Does it make the guitar go sharp?
It can, especially at the first few frets where string tension changes most. Check tuning after you clamp it.
03Can I use it one-handed?
Yes. The trigger squeezes open and releases closed with one hand, which is the point of this design.
04Can I clip it to the headstock?
Yes. The spring holds it on the headstock between songs so it is not sitting on a stand.
