How long does this ukulele usually stay in tune for?

The tuning hardware is very high quality, so the tuning stay for a long time. This is one of the best model out there for the price, should get it and enjoy.

After the initial break-in period, I usually only need to tune once every week or two - depending on how much I have been playing. Even then it is a pretty minor adjustment (if any). It seems to loose tuning pretty evenly, so even when it drifts slightly, the tuning stays fairly relative, string-string.

At first, I tuned it daily. But on my second set of strings, I tuned it daily for about 15 days. Then it stayed pretty close for weeks at a time. The electronic tuners are inexpensive and make it worth doing quite often. Only takes a couple minutes each time.

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!!!!

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.

Ivan, the Mahogany Concert keeps it's turn fairly well, although it is always necessary for me to check after I haven't played for a day or so. Once the strings have been broken in the adjustment required are minor unless there have been extreme fluctuations in temperature, like leaving it in the case in the sun or out out over night. Quality strings help.

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.

Elizabeth, it takes awhile for the strings to stop stretching, then it should stay in tune longer. You might have to give it a month, I'm afraid. That's what I ran into.

There is no 6 string uke tuning. Ukuleles have 4 strings. It's tuned like a guitar but a few octaves higher since it's smaller. So yes, the tuning is essentially the same.

This one comes with a high G string. You could probably switch it out for the low, however. It is a nice uke. I have had it for a while now and I still like it very much.

It does stay in tune well but it's hard to say if it will need an adjustment out of the box or not. Most guitars do need to be fine-tuned after having been transported, that is pretty much standard. But you might be able to getaway with not having to do it. All depends on how it was handled during transit which is pretty much impossible to know.

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.)

Really depends on how you play (how you strum, type of pick you use). Should get a solid month or two if you aren't rough on your strings.

I had never played before when I bought my ukulele. I bought it as a birthday present for myself. The first time I played it was at an ukulele workshop on Maui. I told the instrutor this when I arrived. He tuned it for me, played a couple songs on it, and told me I got a great little ukulele for the price! I was super happy to hear I had made a good choice. Before I bought I went to the Cordoba website. There you can listen to one being played. Mine came ready to play.

I bought my granddaughter a Mahala pink ukulele two years ago when she turned 3. It is about $35 and can take a beating. She is 5 now and still has it. It can be tuned and you can play songs on it. She was too young to be interested in learning the correct way to play. But she loved it

I seriously don't have any complaint, it stays in tune and sounds perfect :)

I've heard that as well. I typically only put it on my guitar while I intend to be playing the guitar. When I'm finished and I hang it up, I take the tuner off just in case. So far, I've had no problems. Also, the part that clips to the guitar has a soft padding, so I don't know why it would take off any finish. It hasn't hurt the finish on my guitar so far. (I have a black gloss colored BC Rich Rave II.)

Yes. It has very good machines and stays in tune like good stringed instruments. Having played stringed instruments for 50+ years I am used to checking and tuning my instruments frequently while performing. This is normal. Each time you play you should verify tuning. This Uke had quality tuners and holds tune quite well. On par with very good instruments.

After a few times using it, it does become pretty fast to put it on/take it off/move it, using a quick turn of the tension screw with one hand ... but I don't really think it's going to ever work the way you're hoping (i.e. one movement, one second). Realistically, it would be more like a 2-3 second change at best. The Kyser would be perfect for that, but in my experience, it has too much tension and throws the tuning off. The Shubb ukulele capo might be a good compromise ... adjustable tension and quicker clamp/release.

Good capo does not change tone, or bend strings out of tune. Tip in using it, press strings down before squeezing down on capo.

There is a ukulele setting. It does not specify what type of ukulele. Sorry
