I don't have a picture of a Leno capo but I own one and it works better than any other except the FluxSheerhorn capo. I believe either one is available from Elderly Instruments or Resophonic Outfitters.

Mr Pierce,

Have you compared the Leno capo to Paul Beards capo? If so what did you think of the Beard one?
My understanding of Reso capos is you have to be carefull not to kink the strings, and that os Leno's claim to fame.

Thanks
Keith

Ron,
Hi, I've been useing a Leno Capo for years. I have a 8 string Dobro {tm} in A6
tuning, I have never had any problems with
it or strings being crimped. The Leno Capo
is IDENTICLE to the one Mike Auldridge uses.
Infact I saw Mike's "capo" several years before the Leno Capo came along. You should have no problem getting it through a Reg'
music shop.
