Have a tenor, string-thru with beads inside the body, Graphtech Ratio tuners installed a few weeks ago. Strings are Romero flouro, well settled for about a month. Played it plenty while on vacation, no issues. Now suddenly, the A string keeps going flat. I retune, and it's flat again within a minute or 2. Can't figure it out. Don't expect a cause at the bridge, so either the Ratio (non-adjustable tuner, I believe) is slipping, or maybe the A string is shot, but that would be weird too, since it's only a month old. I've got 4 solid wraps around the tuner post, so shouldn't be slipping due to faulty string installation there. Do strings that go bad behave this way sometimes? Any ideas?
