Limitations?

[edit]

I don't see why the fact that placing the capo on the second fret raises the pitch of some of the strings, and therefore the key, should be considered a limitation. Raising the pitch is what a capo does. Nor is the need to combine it with another capo for DADGAD in other keys a limitation—you can't do that with an ordinary capo on its own either.

I've added an introduction, headings, and edited the flow and phrasing of part of the article to make it a little more readable. It would be nice to provide a source for Jerry Faires' story about seeing a partial capo in 1967 and then making his own, but I haven't found one. His own website doesn't mention that partial capo story. I've also changed the link to Transpo Products as the link given was pointing to a page about a Christian Basketball team.

Merge to Capo

[edit]

The begining of first line of this orphan article ("Partial capo") reads: "A capo ...", and the function of affecting the pitch of the sound of the strings depending on the position it is placed on the frets describes the same practical end. Aren't these the same item? Tortillovsky (talk) 22:59, 1 January 2013 (UTC) On a second thought and a closer look... I've removed the template suggesting a merge to capo.Tortillovsky (talk) 01:03, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
