I know that capos are not great for mandos but I just happen to be in a singing group that neds me to capo up to the 1st fret. Anybody else come across this problem?
Before the Capo police arrive I will note that I just use a banjo capo on the rare times I need one. Is that fretboard radiused? That might be your issue.
