The Kyser Quick-Change Drop-D Capo is designed for guitarists who want to explore the unique sounds of Drop-D tuning while maintaining the speed and convenience that made Kyser capos a favorite among players. By capoing only five strings and leaving the low E string open, this capo creates new chord voicings, expanded tonal possibilities, and creative alternate tuning sounds without the need for constant retuning.
Finished in classic black and built with Kyser's trusted spring-loaded design, the KGDBK makes it easy to move between positions on stage, in the studio, or during songwriting sessions.
Unlike a traditional capo that covers all six strings, the KGDBK leaves the low E string untouched while capoing the remaining five strings. This design allows players to achieve Drop-D-style sounds higher up the neck while retaining powerful bass notes and unique chord structures.
The patented Kyser Quick-Change design allows for one-handed operation, making position changes fast and effortless. Whether you're switching songs during a performance or experimenting with new ideas, the capo can be repositioned in seconds.
The KGDBK is suitable for many six-string acoustic and electric guitars, providing dependable performance while maintaining accurate intonation and minimizing string buzz.
Partial capos can unlock creative approaches that standard capos simply can't provide. The Kyser Drop-D Capo gives players access to inspiring alternate-tuning sounds without changing their tuning, making it a valuable tool for songwriters, worship musicians, fingerstyle players, and anyone looking to expand their musical vocabulary.
