Hi, I've been lurking but this is my first post.
I'm having trouble finding the perfect capo for my Phil Crump bouzouki. Phil made the bouzouki with a downward arch on the back of the headstock that looks cool but makes a bump on the back of the neck right where an elastic or Kyser capo would normally sit. The clamp capos work great but make it difficult to change keys in the middle of a set. Phil himself suggested a Shubb, but that is a clamp type.
I have other capos that work great as long as they don't have to be moved, but I play Irish trad and need to change keys in the middle of a set. It's awkward to have to reclamp a trigger type capo.
I'm tempted to go to a luthier to see if an adjustment could be made to the neck but I'm hoping there is a less drastic option? All comments welcome!
