	hardcase says: 6/2/2011 8:45:49 AM When I visited Warrens place a couple of years ago, he was using a Paige. I use a Kat Eyz on mine. I really like how thin it is and the V shape base really locks into the neck. No slipping or rolling.

I'm using a Kat Eyz V-frame, but I like the Elliot capo better because it has a larger adjustment knob. For a less-expensive capo, I'd go with a Paige. Then again, I'm partial to "yoke/stirrup" style capos.

	dpeacock1 says: 6/23/2011 6:54:16 AM I recommend BMF capos(banjo & guitar) made by Ronnie Brown in Broadway, NC. Ronnie owns and operated BMF Machine & Tool. He's also a good musician(guitar, banjo, singer). Doug
	Smelly Old Gibby says: 7/29/2011 5:36:34 PM Warren uses a standard size Paige capo. He then takes-off the factory sleeve and replaces it with gas hose for model cars and airplanes. You can get it at any hobby shop. I went-out and tried it and it works great.
