Shubb Capos, based out of Rohnert Park, CA, manufactures capos for all sorts of stringed instruments including guitars, banjos, dobros, and ukuleles. It's been a thrill to help them tell their eclectic story that started 45 years ago when banjoist Rick Shubb and his friend and auto mechanic Dave Coontz were tinkering with prototypes in the evenings. They've come a long way since then—selling over 6 million capos in nearly 40 countries. Their capos are used by some of the biggest names in music—Bruce Springsteen, Pete Townshend (The Who), Keith Richards (The Rolling Stones), Garth Brooks, Bonnie Raitt, Tom Petty, The Edge, Jerry Garcia... the list goes on and on.
