losen the string push the pin down hold it there tighten up the string till it grabs you likey have to mich string under the bridge . if you still have a problem make sure you have 2.5 to 3 winds on the peg for it to grab if you still have a problem them its likey your tuner is shot you will at that time new a new set you cant buy just 1 tuner to match the others

You have a very comprehensive understanding of tuner pegs. I would add one thing to what you've said. If you can get down to the gears inside and if it is pooched, e.g. the teeth have worn away - there actually may not be a need to replace the tuner. If you've got an old tuning peg around, you may be able to harvest a gear and simply replace the stripped gear. I recently did that and it cost me nothing but the effort.

when ever you put in new strings on an acoustic you have to place the string in line it up with the slot in then pin press firmly on the pion while hold it down give the string a good tug to seat the string and what I di is I keep holding the pin down while bringing the string to pick sometimes it can still pop up a bit this way I know its seated properly I do this on all the strings

Just got my guitalele in the mail today. It's a 6 string (nylon) mini guitar that's made to be tuned in standard. For some reason only the G and high E strings slip out of tune. Any idea why? Everything else is great. I need to know if I should return this guitar or if it's worth trying to fix. I tightened the screws on the tuners and still the same. I tune it up, it stays in tune for a song or two, then check the tuning and they are out again.

@KevinMillard683 жыл бұрын
not all the bridge pins will sit flush thats normal as for the tuning problem could be a bad tuner or not enough winds on the string so but if the tuner is not winding the string at all then bad tuner is likey so other a new set of tuners and a new set of strings and there you go problem solved

Quick question: I have semiclosed tuners on my acoustic and realized that the brass gear inside one of them had stripped badly. Everything else with the tuner works fine. Instead of replacing the entire tuner, is it okay to just replace the brass gear with a new one from a new tuner?
@KevinMillard684 жыл бұрын
as long as the gear ratio is the same then you can do it personaly id take off thoese cheap tunners and get a nice set of sealed permanatly lube tunners with a high gear ratio 14:1 or higher it will give alot better tunning stability and be alot better over all eitherway,, but yes you can just make sure they are the same ratio of gears

@KevinMillard683 жыл бұрын
well if this is on an acoustic and you just put new stings on it it could be you feed to much into the peg hole and you ll have to try and tune it a few more times it will lock up eventually, other wise if thats is good then its possible you have a bad tunner which means a new set of tunners are needed you cant just buy 1 tunner unless you have really high end tunners some companies will sell sperate ones but generally factory tunners cant be bought seperate so new set of 6 and back in business 3rd problem is how you strung it to the tuner could be slipping which can happen as well.. i use a locking techneique for the string so it cant slip on me at the tunner end..
