Maybe a device on a swing arm bolted to the top would do the trick.

I do use a regular capo to make more open strings available in various keys, which would limit the practicality of this thing for me, since you can really only use it at the 12th fret on most acoustics.

| Joined: February 2004 Posts: 2487 | I bought one, Ya know I thought about this a few years ago while doing some Yes stuff on the Bass. there is one of the songs on an early album that is just the harmonics plucked over and over. I thought I might try and make something like this but never got back to it. I sure wish I did. This guy is going to make a freekin fortune, it is so simple its brilliant! I think I can write some great new stuff on this Baritone with alternate tunings whist using this crazy thing. He got my $35 Randy | ||
