Rob,
 
    I'll be the first to say this because it will get asked  anyway. 
 
   What kind of music do you want to play, where do you want to  play, are 
you planning on playing with a group?
 
    Yes you can capo a drone. Are you looking for an  additional drone string 
for the instrument?  
 
    Bela is a well known and good maker. I think Melissa has  one. I know of 
a few others that have them and they are happy with them but make  sure that 
you get the instrument that you will play. The Tekero is very specific  as far 
as playing with others and some times does not lend itself (in it's  regular 
tuning) to playing with others that are playing Irish, English, French,  etc. 
music. There was just a discussion about retuning and the types of pressure  
and strings required so that you can play with others playing in D/G or C/G. 
 
    Food for thought. Although I don't own or play a Tek I  am aware of a few 
of the difficulties relating to the instrument. The first  questions are the 
most important to know in advance. 
 
   Scott
