Does it tune sharp or flat? If the string seems to be tuning up/sharp then it could be the nut slot is binding the string. Try taking a sharp lead pencil and put a small amount in the slot. This is an old violin trick to keep the strings from binding. If it is down-tuning/flat, then check to be sure the string is not slipping away from the tuner post. Also pull up on the string to be sure it is seated good at the bridge pin. This has always worked for me. Good luck and hope this helps.
