I purchased a concert Koaloha Opio on the board and I seem to have issues with it staying in tune - especially the E string. I can actually see it slip out of tune.

Would it be wise to change the tuners? Perhaps planetary tuners? I can't seem to find Koaloha replacements anywhere.
 
Sounds like the tuner is loose. Tighten the set screw on the tuner button.
Not to tight, just tight enough to hold.
 
Fixed it. I tighten the screw as much as I can and it seems to be working! Thank you for all of your help.

If the problem comes back, you could add a very thin washer between the tuner and hack of headstock to gain more grip, which seems less invasive than cutting a bit off of the screw end.
