Human Touch™ | High Tension (7-piece kit)

As I posted in my earlier review, the Thalia capo is the best I've used. I play 12 string guitars, almost exclusively, both electric and acoustic. With the High Tension kit, I'm able to quickly change the curvature of the capo to match the neck of whaatever guitar I'm playing. From a Rickenbacker 660/12TP, a 1993 Plus, a Burns Double Six, or a Fano/Rivolta 12, to a Martin D12-35, a Taylor PS52ce, or a Takamine EN12C-12, it's a 30 second quick change of the pad to get a perfect fit. It's a really well engineered design that works flawlessly.

I haven’t received them yet but, as I have already mentioned in a mailing to Gareth after buying them, I was enthusiastic after reading your ‘new’ advertising name for these so eagerly bought them as your capos have never performed for me on any of my 12 string guitars, and to be honest, I have also moved away from Thalia for my six string guitars as well because, as I have already explained to Gareth in a lengthy and detailed mailing, I have two competitor capo's that work far better for me on all of my acoustic guitars than Thalia both 6 string and 12 string. I had thought that these ‘Human Touch’ pads were an advancement in either technology or materials from the “Octave Touch’ pads I bought back in 2019. Unfortunately, in Gareth’s last reply to me, it sounds you have just changed the name so it looks like I have just wasted £22 on pads that will still not work any better than the ones I bought from you years ago for my 12 string as from what you say, they are obviously the same as the ‘Octave touch’ ones I bought back in 2019. I have obviously wrongly assumed these ‘Human Touch’ ones you advertise now were a progressive upgrade either in design or materials from the ones I bought from you back in 2019 and not just a renamed item, so these ones currently in the post will be of no use to me either, but I also said that in my reply.

Very difficult to squeeze and use this capo. Bought a Schrub yoke style capo because of this.

Works great from vintage radius 7.25 to 16

I bought a Birds Eye maple capo some time ago specifically for my Larrivée 12-string guitar which has maple back and sides. Unfortunately, none of the Fretpads that came with it would hold down the D & G strings adequately. I took a chance on the OctaveTouch, High Tension kit and the third pad I tried worked just fine. Thank you!!
