Talk:Capo (musical device)

message: I really think the link at the bottom to "Capos" should be done in some other way (for example, look at the way Sex is disambiguated).  It doesn't seem right for that word to be nestled right beside a link to a brand of guitar capo.  Just not sure the right way to do it.  Also, on a Capo disambig page it might be good to include "Capo" as a musical word (e.g. da capo). Queerwiki 02:15, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Could include a section on the different ways people pronounce this word. I've always said it as cap-o. I live in Australia, and have noticed, only in the last year or so, people calling it kay-po. I've done some research and it looks like that's how a lot of American's say it. Interesting the way different pronunciations creep in. phocks (talk) 14:29, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Kay-po is far the commonest pronunciation I've heard in the south of New Zealand since the early 1970s. Not sure if that's true in the rest of the country. I've occasionally heard cappo, but haven't taken enough notice to remember where speakers were from. Koro Neil (talk) 01:49, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm.  Here in the UK I've never heard of it as anything other than a CAP-o.  Booglamay (talk) - 13:41, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Only ever heard insular Brits use /cap-o/ and heard /kay-po/ everywhere else, but certainly some linguist could post something definitive. -LlywelynII (talk) 12:25, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Kay-po is the most common pronunciation of the word.  Never heard someone calling it a cap-o.  Mr. C.C. (talk) 03:47, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

message: The link to making your own capo at thestringery.com appears to be dead.  The site home makes reference to the site being broken and in the process of being fixed so I left the link alone.  I'll try to remember to check it again on or about 20 July 2009 and if it still down I'll remove it unless there is an objection. Vectorscalar (talk) 06:12, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Maybe someone could add a bit info on the harmonic capo from Bob Kilgore (weaseltrap.com), what it does and all. Not meaning do do advertising, but it seems that this is capable of more than conventional capos, even if i don't exactly understand it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.121.20.37 (talk) 14:36, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

message: A very civil email has come in from Dunlop, who own the trademark for the term Trigger as applied to capos. I have discussed genericisation of trademarks with the gentleman, and he entirely accepts that this may be considered generic by some, but I have also checked the article and the term "spring clamp" also seems to be appropriate. Nobody wants to start a war; if everybody in the entire world uses "trigger-style" then so be it, but Dunlop have to take reaonsable steps to prevent dilution of trademarks and this unquestionably is a registered trademark of tiers.

I stress again: the are very polite and not at all strident or demanding. I think this would be a good time to show some class, but not to the point of compromising our principles - if someone has a really good source that discusses exactly this issue, then by all means please include it.
