The Original design Shubb capo in plain, unplated brass. The brass will darken as it ages.

A few years ago Shubb upgraded the original nickel plated capo, giving it the roller design, and a more streamlined look and feel. But whenever you change something, some people will prefer the original. So for those who still want the "classic" - the original Shubb capo is as it has been for over 40 years.

Plain, unplated brass will darken in time. For those who appreciate brass, this look is preferred; reminiscent of an old microscope, or a piece of gear from a sailing ship. But if you like your brass to shine, it can be polished with a cloth and most any commercial metal polish.

The original, plain brass capo is a natural for those who fancy a retro look.
