Install 5th String Capo Spikes When Purchasing a Banjo

Add 5th string capo spikes on your banjo when purchasing a banjo

Our prices to install capo spikes are reasonable and you can choose below which frets to add them too.
Choose either the 7th, 8th, 9th, or 10th frets.

Unlike a guitar when you place a banjo capo that covers four strings of the banjo, the 5th string of the banjo needs to be capoed separately.

Someone unknown (who should receive a great deal of credit) started using HO Railroad Train set spikes to use as hooks to install on a banjo fretboard for raising the pitch of the 5th string to match where the normal capo is placed.These "spikes" are sometimes call nails for 5th string, 5th string tacks or hooks.

After the spike is installed you simply slip the string under the spike and it raises the string pitch.

This is by far the most widely used method for capoing the 5th string on a banjo and has been for the last 40 years.

They are easy to install by someone who knows how and the cost is reasonable. It's wise to get them when purchasing a banjo rather than chase someone down in your local area at the last minute when you need them and also likely pay more for installation.
