we're a small company in NH producing a specialty capo. Some of you know
us, but I just thought I'd throw on a few letters we've gotten about the
capo for others who haven't seen it. If you want to look at the capo go to
www.guitarcapo.com or reply to this post.
Thanks, Steve

Richard Chaff, UK:

I purchased a Quick Draw recently from Frank Kilkelly...and itąs
inspirational! Thanks for the capo I have been waiting 30 years for!

Sandra Bernegger, agent, New York City

This capo is great! Revolutionary, in fact! Thanks for creating such a
great product!

Alan Tall, Glasgow Ireland:

Dear Steve, What a beautiful capo! Hardly an accessory, more a development
of the guitar itself! Iąd been a dedicated Shubb man till I got a Quick
Draw.


Tim Gleeson, Australia:

The Quick Draw is an amazing piece of art! I had been using a Keyser capo
but it is waaaaaay too slow!

Hideo Nishitani, Japan:

Dear Steve Kaufman, Thank you! Iąm glad to possess greatly łQuick Draw˛
This capo is the best. I sticked your sticker to my Martin guitar case.

PJ Rechsteiner, Shannon Traditional Irish Forkmusic:

Thanks for making my playing a lot easier! I got two capos from my friend
Noel McQuaid, theyąre an absolute dream! I use them on my guitar and on my
bouzouki---even used them on a CD recording, moving up a key while
recording.--brilliant!

Bob McNeil, New Zealand:

This thing is the biscuit! Thanks!

I visited their site but there's no picture (except an apparently generic
capo), which would have been worth a thousand words in evaluating it. The
idea sounds good, though I only recently decided to try the type that clamps
on the end of the guitar when not in use, and that is good for locating, but I
can't leave it on the guitar in the case. So this one might be better, but
without seeing it, who knows?

Agreed. I posted this in response to their posting on rec.music.folk:

The price is in line with other capos (and it's certainly cheaper than an
Elliott), but there aren't any clear pictures on the website. It does look
low-profile in the one low-resolution picture/drawing but the use of the
phrase "lowest profile" demands comparison with the Paige and
the Elliott capos. As Phil Elloitt's success attests, there's a big
market for capos at any price. It would be nice to have some better
pictures on the website.

Phill (not Phil) Elliott's web site address is:
http://www.elliottcapos.com/

Looks like some very finely crafted products (not that I'm biased ;-) ).

Best,
