Capo For 8 Strings?

Will the FC-90 work on 8 strings? The Flux
Jerry Douglas Model? Which capo is the best on 8 strings?

Howard Parker · From: Maryland

Paul Beard advertises his capo for 6/8 string.

How about a non-bullet steel for an 8-stringer? I've been using a Shubb SP-2 or a Scheerhorn - who will make a longer steel in a bluegrass style? I have an 8-string Weissenborn from Neil Russell on it's way next month.

Dwight--

How about a Shubb-Pearse SP-1?

Dwight, check in with Gary Swallows, he'll custom make you a wood-topped bar, any kind of length, nose style etc. Great guy and great bars! http://www.gssteels.com/gssteels/

Have any of you guys ever actually used one of these capos on an 8 string dobro?

Howard Parker · From: Maryland

Works fine on mine (Beard).

Except I choose not to capo the 8.

My 8-string neck is too wide for the Beard -- I too would like to know what will work so I don't have to send it back.
