Tired of waiting days and days for your new Nylgut strings to stabilize their tuning? Here's a tip, direct from Aquila Strings: http://www.aquilacorde.com/ukuleleing.htm -The best sound quality develops when the [new] strings have completely set, which may ordinarily take sometime. To achieve a stable intonation in just a few minutes you can repeatedly pinch each string at midlength with your fingers, pull it decidedly sideways and tune it up again. Stop when the string does not pull out of tune anymore.
