Images that were attachments to posts in the old site were not migrated to here- it was not possible because of the Ning archiving tool formatting.
They would have to be added again new. Sorry!

Dale, this may not be the same as Kevin's but maybe this web page will give you some ideas: www.sternercapo.se/capomuseum/Special/Dulcimer/dulcimer.htm. Sorry I typed that out. I am not able to copy and paste website links in comments. Ugh!!!

Dale, I'm guessing the picture didn't migrate over from the old site. Just a guess.

Yeah, it's a bit heavy, but I'm pretty careful with it. I added a leather pad to the wood that presses down the strings to keep the strings from getting marred, particularly the wound D. I tried the 1/4-20 bolt with wooden discs, but it seemed to slip a little loose.

Me too. They work pretty well.

Looks pretty good... a bit heavy perhaps, but as long as it works, who cares. I've made capos from a 1/4-20 bolt and wingnut with two wooden disks to grab the sides of the fretboard, and a length of vinyl tubing to protect the strings from th bolt threads.

I stitched the leather pouch to keep the capo in.
