Why does pitch change in guitar?

If your guitar is going out of tune, there are a variety of reasons you could look into:

  1. Temperature. Changes in the temperature of the guitar can affect how a guitar remains in tune. Wait until the instrument is at the room temperature before tuning it.
  2. Improper string winding at the tuner. If the strings are not wound properly around the tuner, they can slip and drop in pitch. You should try to wind the string around the tuner post 2-3 times to ensure a solid hold.
  3. Poor tuners. If you have low-quality tuners, the internal gears will slip, causing the pitch to drop.
  4. New strings. If you just put new strings on your guitar, you have to stretch them out in order for them to remain in tune.
