[CAUT] capo work

[Jim Busby]

Paul,

You won't EVER wear them out! (You'll just misplace them...) I really like this tool. The diamonds cut fast and clean.

Regards,
Jim

Thanks Jim!

It looks pretty good for getting an even surface.  We have so many students breaking strings in the capo areas, many pianos are getting to the restringing point.
I'm guessing these files will last for a long time.

Best,

Paul

The 300 grit is all I have.

Google "Stewart MacDonald". Look for diamond fret files. I asked about the radius specs over the phone and can't remember which one was best but I do know the small WON'T work. I'll see if I can give you better info later.

Hi David,

Stewart MacDonald guitar fret files are the best. DON'T get the cheaper ones. Get the diamond files. They work quickly with 150 and 300 grits, and then follow with 400 and 600 sandpaper and buff. 15 minutes tops. Perfect every time.

What are techs using to file capo bars before restringing?   I've read that guitar fret files were being used...I'm interested in the type of file and any technique used.  I'm thinking a 2 mm radius...?   I am reading the archives on this and some good articles in the Journal...
