Is there something wrong with my guitar tuners?
Kaleb G asked:
I changed my strings on my guitar about 5 or 6 weeks ago and it still keeps going out of tune easy. And when I tune my guitar the tuners turn very easily. Should I replace them?

Number 1 – Did you stretch the strings? Tighten them up to pitch, then pull them one by one at different points along their length – then tune them back up to pitch.
Number 2 – there’s a ***** on the tuning key – tighten it and it will take the play out of the machine.
Two possibilties
1. you didn’t restring it properly and the strings are not firmly attached and wound on the tuning pegs.
(after 5 or 6 weeks the strings should be stretched out enough if properly strung)
2. like the other guy said, perhaps your tuners are loose. Tighten up the ***** on the end of each key…NOT TOO MUCH, though. They should turn easily but firmly.
