Are there capos that let you "press" only one or two chords or do they all press all four chords? Could this one do it?

...these capos are designed to "press" all four strings* on a ukulele. I'm assuming you mean "all four strings" rather than "all four chords".

Only if you're playing chords at the same time. If you're playing melody and hitting a chord every once in a while...it's not really the best.

It depends on how you define "need". Any stringed instrument cam be played with or without a capo. (Well, I've never seen a fiddle capo, but I do know of an outstanding cello player who said she could use one.) There are some instances where a capo makes things a lot easier.That said, most ukulele players do not use a capo.

I'm on the road at the moment without it but I'm sure that no, it doesn't. It has a fair number of temperaments available, while unfortunately 1/4 comma meantone is not one of them. Only 1/6 comma E- or D#. I seem to be playing more and more in 1/4 comma so that's a bit of a downer. I'm not even sure that Just Intonation is a temperament, as the pure intervals move with the chords being played through all keys in just. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a tuner that can do it, maybe an iPhone app, but I think the only way the Korg would be able to do it is to use the temperament closest to pure for the notes you want to check and then know how much to add or subtract when you are reading the meter. Good question though. It makes me think.... It's been a great tuner for me other than the 1/4 comma problem, where I've had to set the frets with a ruler and then make small adjustments to whatever keyboard instrument is there. It's survived several drops from the music stand and the batteries seem to last forever.

I don't know, I bought it for my girlfriend and it only seems to make two sounds depsite saying it can do 6. We haven't messed around with the configuration too much because she likes it to resemble the way it looks in the show. It's possible that changing the configuration of the detachable pieces may adjust the sound but I'm not sure. Sorry I can't be of more help, you could also try contacting the person who sold you the product (if listed) or checking out a youtube video.Edit. I just read through some other commets and it said to click on the buttons multiple times in quick succession to adjust the sounds, I'll have my girlfriend try this and get back to you.

No, one button operates all three. You can turn down the music or change the song.

Mine broke when I screwed it down too tight after using it for 4 or 5 years. I played in around 8 different keys with the first 4 cord changes for each. I glued short fat wooden pegs onto the fingerings to allow for my long fingernails. Worked great!! I really miss it for that.

I think all capos will have some effect on tone. (Read my review of the G7th.). For me, this capo ended what seemed like a never ending search for one that is acceptable - this capo was one of those game changers that took me to the next level. Being an acoustic / vocal soloist I use a capo to enable me to play in just the right key for my voice while at the same time playing chords I'm comfortable with. The tone and sustain while using this capo changed all of my "B List" songs to "A List" because of the improved sound. I think the combination of the "self ratcheting" closure of this device and wide rubber pads lining the upper and lower "jaws" enables this improved tone. In addition to improved tone over other capos I find this capo has less impact on the tuning of the guitar as well. I use this for a few hours every day on my Taylor acoustic electric which is my "go to" guitar out my 12 acoustic electrics. My Taylor stays in tune really well and I notice this capo has signifcantly less impact on tuning compared to other capos. One final but important note on this capo... For me, when using the capo in the normal position (flat rubber pad on the strings & opening to the jaws facing the floor) when my hand contacted the end of the top bar of the capo I found it to be a rough and irritating surface. A very acceptable workaround that put my hand in contact with a much smoother surface was to use the capo "backwards" that is, flat rubber pad on the strings, however, jaws opening toward the ceiling. I will continue to buy these capos - they are a little more expensive but they are amazing !!!! If cost isn't an issue and you are a performer who can't live without this capo, buy two so you have a backup just in case you misplace one or one "walks away"...

Yes, it's very easy to use and reliable. Best capo I've come across by far.

No the algorithm used to determine what harmony note will be created is predicated on the chord signal in the guitar input. if you play your bass using multiple note chords it will work but most of the time you probably play one note at a time. a keyboard works and a guitar even a mandolin, but single note instruments will not change the harmony to make the overall chord voicing.

I'm using one right now. The media keys for next/last track, play/pause, stop, and mute all work. The volume knob doesn't, nor do the programmable keys along the top above the function keys. I like the way the keyboard types and I don't use those other keys at all so it isn't much of a detriment to me. I do wish the volume knob worked but that's about it.

Thank you for your email. You do not need a capo to play the Ukulele. I would recommend a book.

In octave mode it does ok with simple chords. In harmonizer mode it struggles to find the key to shift to. Single notes and lead guitar it does great.

three click does not work too good.one click (play/pause music, answer/end call) works wonders.two click (next track) works great.three clicks... I get to the next track and it pauses the song. It does not rewind.

I've used this capo on three different ukes and never had a problem with it. I really don't have an answer as to why it would do this. Sorry.

Yeah but don't get this capo it sucks and is really weird in the way that one of your 2 e strings will not have to sound weird so unless your ok with that.

I returned it, was not happy with the chords, I cannot recall, but I think yes. Sorry.
