I purchased a Ohana SK-20S ukulele in November which had been professionally set up prior to my purchase. I have noticed that it is very difficult to keep the E and A string in tune for any length of time. The G and C strings seem to hold their tuning fairly well. I took it back to the instrument store that I bought it from and had a tech go over it. He could not find anything wrong and suspected that these 2 strings were still not properly stretched out yet and instructed me on stretching the strings before I played it until they stayed in tune. I use a Snark tuner as well as internal tuning to check tunings. I have played this instrument for approximately 30 minutes almost every day for the last 3 months. I'm not convinced this is a string problem as much as I suspect a tuning peg problem. The pegs currently on it were factory installed. What are some other thoughts on keeping this uke in tune and/or what other brands of tuning pegs should I consider to see if the pegs are the problem. Thanks for any and all suggestions.
