Maybe you need a good/new steel string.

hi
after playing nylon string guitar for all my life, now i perform more in a steel strings guitar, the first reason is the tuning! i have a beautiful 8 string(very expensive) with great tuners, gilbert( very expensive too) everything started when i got a apx-5 yamaha( a cheap one) for record a music film, i was surprised with the tuning in the high notes, even playing chords, really in my classicals i can not get this perfect tuning,,, i have been talking with luthiers about, some ones things has to do with the construction, a steel top is ticker and overtunes tends to be more exacts, with my experience( iam professional) the only classical i try with perfect intonation are top guitars romanillos, hauser, smallman, etc. that makes the difference!! by the other side a regular steel guitar has a nice comfortable intonation. it is not a rule just my personal experience.

Hi, in my experience one thing that works is not playing inmediatly but let the strings seat for a while on the guitar and tune it regularly. That way i find that they stretch at their own time and you constantly keep them at the level of tension (tuning) you want until they get "used" to it.
So i put the new strings, let the guitar seat without playing and i retune it everytime i can and the guitar needs it. That way the strings start to need less retuning and thats when i start playing and fine tune till the strings finally get their desired tension without going out of tune. That method works for me at least. By the way this is my first post so hello to everyone. |

tuning half tone upper, helps to stretch the new strings, after doing this left the guitar with out playing for 20 minutes, the strings will been in regular tune after this process. Eblen |
