Last week i traded my 22" Weber Vintage A octave for a Weber 20" F octave. The A had a superb sound and fantastic quality build but i wanted something a little easier to play - the 20" F is for me,...

I have had some joy with...
very nice Martin. funnily enough i was playing around with this tune the other day too.
Schubb for me - had to try a few to find a capo that fitted well.
i have a 22" weber and played it for about a year using mando fingering and felt like i was getting away with it. someone on one of these forums who i respect suggested i make the transition to one...
