The Mini SpiderCapo is for narrow necked instruments. These include, but are not limited to: Banjo, Ukelele, Mandolin and Bouzuki.
Users report that because the SpiderCapo clamps over the fingerboard, and not behind, it can also be used on the Mountian Dulcimer.
The purpose of the Mini “Spider” is to Capo each string individually making possible hundreds of tunings without de-tuning your instrument.
As banjo players in particular like to tune in different ways to start with, SpiderCapo will multiply each tuning by the same factor making hundreds and hundreds of tunings available!
The XXL SpiderCapo is for wider necked instruments. Instruments include, but are not limited to, 5 & 6 String Electric Bass, full length Concert Classical Guitar, 7 & 8 String & exotic Guitars.
Note: the packaging erroneously states a maximum of only 2 inches
For even wider necks like a 10 String Classical, or the “War” guitar, custom made sizes are available - please contact us.
The SpiderCapo Harmonik Glove/Mutes are placed at a point of natural harmonics. When lowered to lightly touch the string, the harmonic will sound when the open string is plucked, AND the fretted note will sound when the player depresses the string under the glove.
They can also be used to mute selected strings to prevent string buzzing and ringing, which reduces feedback without losing tone. They slide onto the Finger Handle of the SpiderCapo.
Because the SpiderCapo/Harmonik Glove combo is not impeded by a strap or gizmo behind the neck, it can be placed at ANY point of harmonics, or even OFF the fingerboard behind the nut, such that selected Gloves can control feedback with minimal interference with the playing hand.
They can be used on Classical Guitars at the 12th or 19th fret- previously not possible due to the neck joint, or on Dobros, Mountain Dulcimer, Ukuele, Banjo, Bouzouki as well as the Electric Bass. family.

Dave Weiner – SpiderCapo Review
Buzz
" I used the SpiderCapo on all the initial acoustic compositional sketches; all of which became the bed tracks on which the compositions have been built. The Capo has contributed immeasurably to the sound of the acoustic parts."
-John Maycraft with Bernie Calvert (The Hollies)
Hit Nashville songwriter Marty Dodson says, “I'm not a big gear guy, but my favorite new gadget is my ‘Spider Capo.’ You can capo each string individually, so it makes for some interesting tunings.”
It works equally well on both electric and acoustic [...] the fact that such an item actually does what its associated literature boasts it does is a pleasant surprise.

Adjusting to the Spider Capo was no trickier than trying out a different style of pick.

Hey guys!
I've been using my spider capo for the last three years, and it's completely stayed intact and has never faltered. Im in two bands from the Philadelphia area called Reward and The Librarians, both on Mutant League Records from Chicago. I use your product on essentially every single song I play. I even used it in a music video were in the process of putting out......
Thank you,
