Keeping an Ukulele in tune talks a bit of time, but here are the basic tips:
1. Store the ukulele in a consistent temperature and humidity area.
2. Make sure the strings settle in. New strings take a while to stretch out and the knots to tighten up.
3. Make sure your tuners are not too loose. There is a small screw at the end of the tuners. This can be tightened, maybe a quarter turn at a time, to keep them from slipping. And be careful not to slip and scratch the uke! On some ukuleles, the tuners are really loose. Don't over tighten, but make sure the tuner doesn't loosen up when you turn the string to the correct note.
