Bass Capo

Sterner TM

 

I almost didn't believe this guy when he told me he had made a capo for the upright bass! It turned out to be true and I'm very proud to present this truely unique item:

Blue Dew Capo

Made in 1993 by John Beumer, Netherlands.

"The story with it is that some years ago I had problems using my left arm so I couldn't play with my folkband Blue Dew. That changed when I made the capo. It made playing open strings possible at different positions. In bluegrass that's enough to play basic. I made the capo of the following ingredients:

  • a tie wrap from my racebike,
  • a gastube,
  • a part of an old mirror from my motorbike."

[Donated by John Beumer. His arm is allright now.]

 Bass capo in use.
