Found new pins for 0.60 € each... Now I would like to ask you a suggestion about a good capo for it... Do you have any favourite one?

First off...welcome!
we have a Capo forum here The Capo
12 string capo recommendations?

Just one - Shubb Capo Noir

To quote from the thread acousticguitarcabin.boards.net/thread/53/shubb-comes

The Shubb Capo Noir is the best 12 string capo I have tried, beating out Kyser, Paige and G7th, as well the sundry 6/12 capos from Grover, K&M and D'Addario. and is now my recommended capo for 12 string.

Remember to set it up as indicated in the directions inside the product card booklet in the package.

Thank you for the advice, I found a Shubb nickel capo (not the noir) and must say it works very well...not like the cheap one I tried before.

And I can also say that RobertW most likely knows more about capos than anyone else I can think of....
