These McCafferty capos are easy to use. They come with a long lasting silicon tube that holds down your strings. These capos fit across dulcimer fretboards from 1 3/8" to 1 5/8" wide. By turning the knob on the right, the space between the pads that grip the sides of your fretboard increases allowing you to easily adjust the capo to different size fretboards.

If your fretboard is smaller than 1 3/8" go to the McCafferty website (mccaffertydulcimers.com) and read how to cut the silicon tube with a razor blade to adapt to a smaller fretboard.

The KNA AP-2 and UP-2 come with a pickup, a 10' chord, 2 adhesive discs if you want to install your pickup more permanently, and 2 squares of putty to attach your pickup to the dulcimer if you expect to remove the pickup after playing or use it for several different instruments.

HOW IT WORKS The KNA AP-2 and UP-2 pickups sit on top of your soundboard. You work the small blue square of putty into a ball and then form it into a flat disc. One side of the putty disc attaches to the bottom of the pickup and the other side to your soundboard.

The brown knobs on top of the AP-2 and UP-2 are your easy to reach volume control right at your fingertips.

One end of the 10' chord provided plugs into the mini-jack on the side of the pickup. The other end has a 1/4" jack and plugs into your amplifier. It's that simple.

HOW TO ATTACH YOUR PICKUP USING THE BLUE PUTTY SQUARE Work the blue putty square between your fingers until it becomes soft. If the putty is very hard, you may have to run some warm water over it from the tap. Or use some spit to soften it. Keep working it until you form a ball. Then pressing from the center outward, work it to a larger and larger disc. You want the disc to be as thin as possible and cover as much of the bottom of the pickup as possible. Press the putty disc onto the bottom of the pickup and then press it onto the top of your soundboard. Push down both gently and firmly but not so hard that you damage your soundboard. You have to do it a few times to get the feel for it. The putty is meant to be reused.

Locate the pickup where it sounds good and doesn’t interfere with your strumming. Initially I put the pickup on the bottom bout, as in the picture, but it interfered with my strumming. I moved it to the top bout and it works just fine.

To remove the pickup don’t pull up. Twist the pickup to the left or right and it will easily detach from your soundboard. If some putty remains on the soundboard, gently wipe it off with some Guitar polish and a soft rag.
