It could very well be the tuning pegs. It could also be the strings.

At the end of your tuning pegs there should be screw heads. Use a properly sized screwdriver to tighten those up just a bit. Be careful! You do not want to over tighten! But that increases the friction and should help hold the tuning better.

If the strings are fairly new, they have to 'stretch' into a point of equilibrium. If this is the case, it should settle out after a couple weeks. Temperature swings can also have an effect.

How can I tune my ukulele using a piano?

To tune your ukulele using a piano, you can match the pitch of each string on the ukulele to the corresponding note on the piano. The standard tuning for a ukulele is G-C-E-A, so you would tune each string to those notes on the piano. Start by tuning the G string to the G note on the piano, then tune the C string to the C note, the E string to the E note, and the A string to the A note. Use a tuner or your ear to adjust the tension of each string until it matches the pitch of the piano note.

How can you stop your ukulele from going out of tune so quickly?

Keeping an ukulele in tune talks a bit of time, but here are the basic tips: 1. Store the ukulele in a consistent temperature and humidity area. 2. Make sure the strings settle in. New strings take a while to stretch out and the knots to tighten up. 3. Make sure your tuners are not too loose. There is a small screw at the end of the tuners. This can be tightened, maybe a quarter turn at a time, to keep them from slipping. And be careful not to slip and scratch the uke! On some ukuleles, the tuners are really loose. Don't over tighten, but make sure the tuner doesn't loosen up when you turn the string to the correct note.
