The son of cotton farmers, Milton Kyser said he would “rather pick cotton than go back to school” after the 2nd Grade - and that is what he did. Milton was a good worker. It is what drove him to join the AirForce. It is what carried him through decades as a professional machinist making ball bearings for the oil and gas rigs. After retirement, it was that same get-up-and-go that kept Milton Kyser working on his unique capo design. Well into his sixties, Milton would visit the clubs of Deep Ellum night after night, handing out his Kyser Quick-Change Capos to local Texas musicians.
From the very beginning, Milton did everything himself, by hand. He made sure that every Kyser is made the same way – by the hands of the Kyser family. We wouldn’t have it any other way, because making capos is what we know. We’ve been doing it for decades in Kaufman, Texas, a 5.6-square-mile town with little more than 3,500 people - and 4 barbecue restaurants.
It takes 20 people to make just one Kyser capo.We hand-craft each one in a multi-step process from the best American-made materials available on the custom machinery designed by Milton Kyser himself. That’s because good parts and good work make good products. At Kyser, it’s just that simple. Quality over quantity, or don’t bother coming in tomorrow. It’s Milton’s recipe; it’s the East Texas way, and it's remained unchanged for nearly 40 years.
