Capo bars

[Don]

Hi Margaret,

I know for a while Young Change produced grands with that as a feature.
Unfortunately they choose a phosphor bronze rod that had very high
frictional properties. This "formula" was later changed and the tuning
problems went away.

dealing with bad capo bars (tho I've certainly encountered them in modern
grands & tried to file them) - Has anyone tried the upright piano trick of
embedding a hardened rounded bar or strip in the bearing part of the capo?
