D'Andrea Spider Capo ~ Harmonik Gloves/Mutes.
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
About D'Andrea
In 1922, in downtown New York City, Luigi D’Andrea created the world’s first ever guitar flat picks from sheets of cellulose nitrate, by hand, using heart shaped mallet dies originally used for make the little heart shaped decorations for the tops of powder puff boxes.
By 1928, Luigi had become the veritable “Henry Ford” of the guitar picks and accessory world, with a revolutionary automated production line producing flat, thumb and finger picks, setting the standards for every pick ever produced since.
Today, in addition to the D’andrea pick line, the company offers a huge range of guitar accessories, pickguards, backplates, bottlenecks, bridge pins, capos, cleaning & maintenance gear, string winders, pick holders pickup surrounds, strap locks and buttons.
Over a century of being the original.
