Can be a common problem! Tune the instrument above standard tuning and play it for a while. The strings are still stretching; then tune it to standard and keep it in tune. Usually the strings start to stay in tune better. (Use a tuner. You can purchase them for less than $20.)

I found that I had to stretch these strings a lot to keep it tuned. But, I would trade or return it, for a better ukulele.

Haven't had a issue with ours yet. I would try a repair store and see what they say. You should be able to get a estimate first, if they even charge you to look at it. Then you can decide.

mine works fine. I did have to switch the product once with Amazon due to the loose elastic strap. But the replacement came in just two days. I'll say keeping enjoy the music and call Amazon to send you a new one.

i don't think you tuned it properly... do not apply too much tension, especially when tuning new strings. after all the stock strings are not good so get a set of good strings and start playing!

It is not normal for any instrument to do that unless you are changing climates or going from an air condition room to a high humidity environment. There are little screws on the tuning keys that may be loose, give them a little twist but don't over tighten or key will crack

I'd say take it to a guitar shop. Won't be too expensive but sounds like something is loose inside our your string is to close to the Fret board

Yes. Send it back and ask for a refund... same problem here... sent my bass back. Waited a month still no bass. Asked for a refund... still waiting... get a refund asap

Mine has been good to stay in tune. I check the intonation regularly and it stays in tune. I would say when I have had to tune it a week or two and even then it is a very slight tuning adjustment. I am very pleased with my Kayla! I hope this helps and please feel free to ask me any other questions.

Strings are delicate, and it can be broke in 1/2 during shipping or tuning. If you just receive the package, please contact your seller for replacement strings. It's always better to have an extra set for back up.

There are several ways to tune the resonator. Drop D, open D, but I & it seems most like the open G tuning D G D G B D Here is what I use http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By1gAJYwuno Good luck, Ted.

Make sure there are batteries in the tuner/pickup, and then push in the button that is marked "tuner". Now, pluck a string. You should see a light flash up next to the note, and down below, it will either shine for sharp, flat, or in tune. I hope this helps!

I've had trouble with any tunings other than standard. It will eventually hear the note and start to work but once you get lower than a 1/2 step it has trouble picking up the note.

mine was broke the second it came out of the box and i believe it was broke when it was shipped so i cant help you here except to say its a cheap little unit that will only entertain a 2 yr old ( and thats if it works ) i wasnt expecting a proffesional model for the price but i did expect more and that it worked. i would go to cheaplites.com and get a real one. guitar center also sells better ones for not much more money and those will last a whole lot longer

Sorry to hear of your troubles, but in order for the strings to learn how to keep tune, you will have to continuously tune the strings. It may take a few days until it can hold perfect tune. Mine happen to keep tune within the first couples days. Just like any stringed instrument, the more you use it, the better the sound. Good luck and just be patient

No idea sorry, have you taken it out of the packaging? I thought that when I tried it but It has one of those plastic things in the battery bit at the back that you pull out and it then played the full tune. . . .

Mine doesn't have any play in it. Maybe there is some type of defect? It might be worth it to do an exchange on it....after you hear from other purchasers to see if any others have the same problem. Sorry I could be of more help!

I bought mine months ago and have only needed to tune it four times....I do not play it for, sometimes, three weeks at a time and it stays in tune!!!!

Contact the company for a replacement, sounds like a defect. I never had that issue with mine.
