Aloha all,
Hey, been playing the uke now for a few years but have played acoustic guitar for over 20. My question is about staying in tune. Having owned several guitars of various quality, I know that some would just stay in tune no matter what. I could take them to baja, get them in warm weather, anything, and barely have to adjust them. My ovation comes to mind. My latest Uke however, seems to have to be tuned each time I play and even during playing if I jam for more than a few hours. This particular uke is of moderate quality. Is this common with ukes? I also have not changed the strings of this new uke yet so factory stings may be a factor though I suspect not(only owned it for a few months). The C string seems to be the biggest culprit falling out down to B often. I don't mind tuning each time but just curious. Any suggestions appreciated. Mahalo!
