Planet Waves NS Banjo/Mandolin Capo Pro
Planet Waves NS Banjo/Mandolin Capo Pro is engineered for precision on 4- or 5-string banjos and mandolins, delivering buzz-free, in-tune performance at any fret.
The secret is its micrometer adjustment mechanism. Instead of guessing a one-size-fits-all grip, you dial in the exact tension needed for clear ringing notes across the neck. This means you can move to any fret with confidence, and you’ll dramatically reduce the need to retune during and after capo use.
Built for the real world of gigging and recording, the Capo Pro combines strength and lightness. Its sleek aircraft-grade aluminum construction stands up to demanding touring schedules, while adding negligible weight to the instrument so you hardly notice it on stage or in the studio.

Who is this for? Players who demand pitch-perfect chords when moving across frets, whether on stage, in the studio, or during practice. Whether you’re executing rapid key changes, sustaining a note across multiple positions, or preserving tone in open tunings, the Capo Pro keeps your instrument singing with reliability you can trust.
Why choose this over a generic capo? It’s not just about clamping a string—it’s about controlled, repeatable tension that preserves tone and intonation. The Capo Pro gives you a tangible, tactile way to tailor pressure to your instrument, your setup, and your playing style—so your banjo or mandolin sounds exactly as you intend, every time you bring it up the neck.
