Guitarists know well: a convenient capodastro can radically change the way you play, make it easier to transpose songs, and also provide new creative opportunities. This compact accessory allows you to quickly change the key of a composition without retuning the strings, while maintaining a comfortable fingering. That is why the capo has become a favorite of both beginners and experienced musicians.

At Alfabeto, we strive to create guitar accessories that are reliable, aesthetic, and affordable at the same time, so that every guitarist can buy a capo that fully matches their instrument and style.

Why do you need a capo?

  • Advantages of use. When we put a capo on an acoustic guitar or a classical guitar, we get a clean sound in a higher key without squeezing the frets. This saves the performer's voice, allows you to play familiar chords in a comfortable range, and quickly adapt to vocalists.
  • "Must-have" situations. In live performances, a capo allows you to instantly change the tuning between tracks. In the studio, it helps to avoid “small false starts,” and in teaching, it helps to explain the construction of chord shapes.
  • Varieties. Clamp-on models are fixed with a screw, a spring capo is one-handed, and universal options have different radii for acoustics, electrics, or ukulele capos. I choose Alfabeto spring solutions: they are fast, reliable, and do not damage the varnish.

Review of Alfabeto capodastro

CAPO2 — colorful style and reliability

CAPO2 is available in four colors — Blue, Red, Silver, and Yellow. The metal body withstands active rehearsals, and soft pads protect the neck. The light weight and ergonomic handle allow you to fix the capo with one hand even during a performance. Suitable for acoustic, electric and travel guitars, as well as ukuleles, this is the perfect “color capo” for those looking for style and practicality.

CAPO3 — affordable functionality

If you need a budget-friendly but reliable spring capo, I recommend CAPO3. The lightweight body made of durable ABS plastic has a built-in bridge pin puller — convenient when changing strings on acoustics. The strong spring holds the strings without “ringing”, and the matte finish does not leave scratches. Suitable for acoustic and classical instruments, bass and electric guitars, as well as ukuleles.

CAPO5 — premium accuracy

For those who appreciate the lightness of aluminum and the softness of silicone, CAPO5 was created. Its microweight is only 52 g, and its compact dimensions do not interfere with the hand on the fretboard. Thanks to the silicone inserts, the capo tightly presses the strings, without injuring them and leaving a clean sustain. The black or orange models add elegance to the instrument, while the spring mechanism ensures instant tuning changes.

In each Alfabeto capodastro model, we combine thoughtful design, durability, and affordability. We create guitar accessories that inspire and invite every musician, from student to teacher, to choose their own playing style. Whether you're looking for an acoustic guitar capodastro, a classical guitar capodastro, or a ukulele capodastro, we have the solution for you.
