The Shubb Pāua pearl capo is a continuation of the Capo Royale Series, utilizing a titanium based PVD finish. Pāua is the Maori (native New Zealand) name for a species of abalone whose shells are the most beautiful and colorful, and luthiers often use them for the inlays on their most special guitars. Fine jewelry crafted from the shells are known as Pāua Pearls and were the inspiration for the name of this durable capo, eye-catching capo.
