@tplife007 Thank you very much!

(The kaypo's name is Edgar Allen.)

Where do you find a violin capo? I'd like to try one.

The only way to get a violin kaypo (and to see if you've got what it takes to use it!) is to apply your own common sense and ingenuity to the task...and make one yourself. The basic idea is to take a guitar kaypo and bend it to just the right curvature so that it optimally matches-up with the curvature of the fingerboard.

The real challenge is effectively using it. The subtle issues involved in playing violin-family instruments with kaypos are some very subtle issues indeed.

Have fun!
