Thread Name: Fiddle: Issue with G-string
Subject: RE: Tech: Issue with G-string
Sounding fine and going flat sounds like the string needs stretching. Or it might be slipping. I generally tune a new string a semitone or even a tone high, and then pull it a few times to see if I can get it down to the right pitch. When it's stopped going down under that treatment I tune it down, and then up to pitch.
