Are Kyser Quick Change Capos really different from the others?

interesting

What's interesting is that you've used the subject line as the entire post.

To answer the question, Kyser capos last longer and the rubber bit that comes into contact with the strings actually returns to form better than any other brand I've used.

And if that's not enough of a selling point, you can slap them just about anywhere sand have an impromptu coat hook.

So yeah, they really are different, and in my opinion better.

I must assume my lack of creativity in the question, although thanks for the answer. I've had many capos with this problem of the rubbber not returning to form, will try to find any Kyser capo in a store nearby. Thanks a lot!!

To give an example of just how well the foam returns to form: I have on my desk a Kyser capo that's nearing 20 years old. I once used it as I described above (a coat hanger), and left it in the hotel room by accident. A year later, I returned to that hotel, to find it STILL on the curtain rod (which had ridges in it, mind--also, that says much about the cleaning service that hotel used--but that's a whole 'nother ball game). I was worried it'd take a serious curve and some notching because of that.

Two days of being off the rod, it was back to form, like nothing had happened to it at all, outside some discolouring where the notches dug in. Still perfectly flat to this day. I bloody SWEAR by these capos.

The rubber returning to form is a big plus in my opinion too. But I like to adjust the tension the capo puts on the string. That's why I use a Shubb S1 Capo for my acoustics and a Kyser for the electrics.
