This one worked for my old (1960s) EKO 12 string! I tried a couple of the other capos that either clamped on or used a thumb screw for tightening against the strings, but I could never get them to work. The Russel double elastic went on the first time I tired it and it held all 12 strings tight against the frets!

Just like what I had in 1969. I love living in the past.

I've been playing guitar for a long time; decades. I have owned and used just about every kind of capo imaginable, yet I always come back to the simple elastic capos made by Dunlop.Here's why:1) They work. If you get the right capo for your instrument, it will hold down all the strings perfectly, with no buzz. But make sure you get the right one for your guitar. The single strap model will work on most 6-string instruments, but for a 12-string, or super heavy strings you'll want the double strap. The thick rubber capos will work of both flat and curved fretboards, but if you have any issues with a particular curved fretboard, get a curved capo -- they are out there -- and you problems will go away.2) They are easy to use, once you learn how. Easiest to put on using two hands if you've not done it before, find someone who has, and get them to show you how.3) Light weight. This is especially important with light weight instruments like classical and parlor guitars. Some of those elaborate clamp-capos can add a half-pound of weight to your neck, which unbalances the instrument. Not a problem with an elastic capo.4) Not bulky. There are no leavers, screws, springs, or other gew-gaws protruding from the back, front, or sides of these capos -- nothing to get in the way of your fretting hand.5) Once on, they can stay on. If you need to go from capoed to open strings, you don't have to take the capo off -- you can just slide it up over the nut.6) Easy to reposition. Although I don't do this as much as I once did, if you need to go from capo on the 4th fret to capo on the 2nd fret in the middle of a song, you can simply slide this capo from 4 down to 2, and in less that 2-beats, you;re there.7) Soft. If a metal clamp capo gets loose in your case, it can do some serious damage to your instrument rattling around in there. While elastic capos do have a metal rod in them it is mostly concealed, and they are mostly elastic cloth and rubber. If one rattles around in your case it might cause a scratch, but it's not going to take a divot out of the back of your neck, like a clamp capo could.8) Long lasting. I've has some of these for years. If the rubber tube starts to get grooved from the strings, just rotate it a quarter turn on the rod, and you're good for another 10,000 miles. As the elastic stretches out -- which it will over time -- just go the the next grommet on the band.9) Economical. When the elastic finally does wear out, you will need to replace the capo. But the same can be said for a clamp capo when the spring eventually wears out. Replacing an elastic capo is only going to set you back $5 - $12, and not $25 - $50, like your metal Shubb.This is the bomb. Find the right one for your guitar, learn to use it, and stick with it.You won't be sorry.

Perfect for 12 String Guitars. This Double Elastic Dunlop 7192 Bill Russell heavy capo has the downward compression power to set all 12 strings rock solid on the fretboard and provide perfect tuning and sustain on all strings without fret buzz up and down the neck. My old Takamine 335 12 string acoustic guitar has a baseball bat thick neck and the high dollar capos for 12 sting guitar that I have purchased in the past, are weak and ineffective at properly compressing all 12 strings. The simple design of the Dunlop 7192 is affordable, reliable and keeps my 12 string in tune. Perfect! I also tried the Dunlop Single Elastic capo on my 12 String but it did not hold down all 12 strings. Buy the Dunlop Double not the Single elastic for 12 string acoustic guitars.

To me, this is better than the plastic capos, which look extremely ugly sitting on the headstock or while in use. This has a cool vintage vibe.

Easy to use.May need some stretching and pushing of needle to get device on guitar but when on it is very nice.Clear sound and very reliable.Doesn't scratch guitar like other capos may because of the materials used for it.

It has a double strap. For me, I should get a single strap. With my arthritis in my hands, it's kind of hard to hook.

I have been using this stype Capo for years. It is very easy to slide fromone fret to the next. This is very help, especially when there are severalkey changes within a song.I also store two guitar picks in the Capo - that way I also have a spare pick,just in case I drop the one I am using.
