Shubb FSB-LB brass Fifth String Brass Banjo Capo, Long Bar, NIB Free Shipping

Description

This is a FSB-LBbrass long bar 5th string capo.  8″ with three point mount.
This was the product that got it all started for Shubb back in 1974, and to this day it’s STILL the only fifth string capo worth putting on a banjo. It operates on a lever principle, not a spring, so it provides sufficient pressure to fret the string without muting the tone. It slides on a slim, dovetailed bar that mounts flush to the neck, making it sturdy and unobtrusive.

Installation
We strongly recommend that you have a luthier or repair person install your fifth string capo. Most places that work on instruments can mount it for you in just a few minutes. Or if you are handy with small tools, and not shy about working on your banjo, you could install it yourself. In either case, the Shubb Company is not responsible for the quality or consequences of the installation process.
Installation instructions are provided in the package, but in case you’ve lost the insert, you can download the instructions here:

Expert luthier Frank Ford has provided an excellent description of the proper installation at his website. Even if you have a pro install your capo, it would still be helpful to refer them to Frank’s description, since he has considerable experience at installing these capos.
