Capodastre-V1 by hairygael

We’ve all been there: in the middle of a session, the singer wants to change key.  Sure, not a problem;  just slap a capo on there so you can keep all of the sweet fingerings you’ve worked out.

But oh no!  Where’s your capo?  How could you have not left your capo in your gigbag?

Well, thanks to hairygael, if the recording studio has a MakerBot (as I’m sure most will in time) you can just print one out!  You’ll need the spring from a clothespin (which again any recording studio should have…maybe) and some rubber (a rubber band will work) and you’re golden.
