This modern type of device utilizes a spring-controlled handle that allows the musician to add or remove the capo quickly. This cost effective capo can be added or remove quickly even while in the middle of playing a song. The primary advantage of a spring loaded capo, is that this capo can be clamped or unclamped using just 1 hand.
The main disadvantage is that, in this type of capo the amount of pressure applied to strings cannot be easily adjusted hence it can lead to string bending.
