Rick Shubb Capos, guitar steels and other guitar toys, plus software for the professional musician. The Shubb Capo company began in California in 1974, when Rick Shubb and Dave Coontz collaborated to design and produce a fifth string capo for banjo. "We created the fifth string capo for me to use onstage, but requests from other players prompted us to make a few more. Our course was charted the day we bought a used milling machine and set about making a hundred units." Marc Savoy: Cajun Accordions The Savoy Music Center specializes in building Cajun accordions and produces over 100 accordions each year.
