I=B9ll ditto David on the Streamlight Stylus Reach. Great product. Gets in
just about anywhere, right where you want it, and is reliable and bright.
    Jurgen at Pianoforte Supply has a cheap LED headlight with strap, which
has a nice additional feature: magnet on back, so you can stick it on the
capo at an appropriate angle. At $10 I like to have a couple around, and
live with the problem that the switch is rather flimsy (wants to turn on or
off by itself, so I keep a piece of tape on it to keep it off unless using
it).
