Dunlop Trigger

I have a Chinese knockoff of that.  I've had it about a year now, maybe two.  Use it all the time.  Spring still good, in fact, the whole thing is still mint.  After a year or two of constant use, you'd never think I even used it once yet.  Signs of wear don't seem to show up on these things very quickly.

Reorganized my peg board to make it easier to get at the capos

RobertW , your capo collection has already reached legendary status in some circles. I think this may be one of them. You are correct about my (our) oversight, the fact that I missed this only re-enforces the legendary status previously mentioned. One reason this type of capo is my lender is the thought that the spring cannot remain true to its original form over time, but I might have seriously underestimated this capo.....after the recent 6 month loan I am surprised at the holding power remaining in the thing. It would not be the first time....... I'll not try to speak to Tony's birth date......  my own was in 1957 ......a good year by all reports I've managed to gather.....
