This Capo is designed for use on 6 and 8 string lap type or square neck guitars. 

 Main body is made from aircraft grade aluminum. One tone bar is made from 300 series Stainless Steel. One tone bar is made of hardened Naval Brass. The player has the option to use either tone bar for the preferred sound. 

 The muting bar has a 300series stainless steel core and sleeved with a muting tubing. The Capo is Intended for guitars with a minimum string height of 1/4 inch. 

 When installing the Capo on a guitar, the muting bar is placed between the center two strings, rotated and placed over the desired fret and hand tightened. 

The tone bar should be located immediately above and in line with the fret to be Capoed. This Capo provides very good tone, sustain and volume.

Bell Cranks

I can offer a variety of custom-made Bell Cranks for you existing pedal steel guitar or for you builders of      Pedal Steel Guitars. 

Here you will see three different designs. Two of the three shown are “easy on and off” that allows you to install...adjust location...and remove is needed. The main part is machined from aircraft quality aluminum. These particular ones are shown on a 3/8 diameter stainless steel axel. The model with the white Delrin swivel is drilled for an 1/8-inch diameter straight rod to actuate the changer fingers where the strings are attached. The button head Allen cap screw is hardened steel and repositions the Bell Crank “off center” of the axel to lock it and prevent it from coming off of the axel. Since this Bell Crank is open, so it can be installed or removed, once it is placed on the axel there is a hardened Naval Brass screw tightened to stabilize the Bell Crank and prevent it from being “sprung” open, by over tightening the button head screw holding the Bell Crank on the axel. These Bell Cranks can be made to fit onto a round axel, square axel or hexagon axel of a variety of dimensions. 

 The Bell Crank with the array of 5/32-inch diameter holes is designed for receive a 1/8-inch “pull rod” with a “bent hook” end. These can be drilled to receive a variety of different diameter “pull rods”. The Bell Crank with two opposing Delrin swivels are designed to be used to “pull” or “push” the pull rod so they can “raise” the string tone by pulling the changer finger or “lower” the string tone by pushing the changer finger. 

 Besides Bell Cranks I can also make a variety of “roller nuts”, “roller bridges” and other mechanisms for the pedal steel guitar and lap guitars.
