Hi Barbara Now THAT is a nicely profiled capo bar IMHO. Nice shot too ! And the difference between the Seiler and the Steinway Ed did is both obvious and profundomundo. Notice too that the Steinway, tho mildly grooved is nowhere near as marked up as the Seiler. How long ago did he do the job Barbara ? And do you notice any of the same kind of problems that your Seiler displays ? Tell us more. Cheers RicB Hi all, I have considered all my options and have decided to go in prepared for all of them. Ric Brekne encouraged me to have another go at the filing (a la Ed McMorrow's suggested shape). Last night I remembered that Ed actually filed the capo on MY piano. (Now there's a story! He was using my piano for a seminar class. The action stack to my piano ended up getting lost by the airline, so it missed the seminar but eventually was found in Europe. That's the condensed version.) Anyway, if you are interested, here are two pictures to compare (if you can). 001 is the Seiler. 002 is my Steinway which has the McMorrow v-shape.
