I know there are different opinions about these things but I love em, because (and I dont know if others have done this) you can partially capo with them. You can use them clipped from the top of the neck and leave your top high string ringing open, in open G capo at the third fret, This leaves a nice ringing D on everything you play, which gives a real shimmer to stuff. If you then clip it upside down in this tuning at the seventh leaving your bottom string as a low drone against the higher strings it sound really nice too. I havent used it in other tunings but I intend to exploit this capos ability to do this, I know some people think they are a bit bulky, but their opon ended design lends itself to experiments like this.
Any other forum members been mucking about with their Kysers!

I use mine on the second fret covering all the strings except the 6th. That way you if you play using the shapes for the key of D you get the equivalent of a dropped D tuning, except you're playing in E (if you see what I mean). You get the nice deep drone on the bottom but with the advantage that when you play the G shape you can still play the 6th string. I use it for picking "Stackolee".
