| For some odd reason, my 12 string came home today. It wasn't supposed to be due until late February. It was just what I expected; sounds great and beautiful.
This is my first 12 string. When I tune it to E, it doesn't seem to stay in tune. Does this happen to all 12 strings? Do I keep it tuned to E or should I tune it down?
Thanks in advance |

Location: Zion, Illinois | About keeping in tune, it is hard to say without more information.
Did you just get it or did it just come back from repair? New strings? Was it shipped to you and was it out in the cold for a while?
Just a WAG, but I would just give it a little time to adjust to home.
As for tuining, I've had a Glen Campbell 12-string since 1974 and have always tuned it to E without any problems (always light gauge strings). I know others buy medium strings and then tune it down a whole step. I do believe they are built to be tuned to E.
Have fun with your 12 string.

| I just purchased it, brand new. When I tune it to E, after a little while in the case it turns a little flat. I guess its just the new strings.
Thanks Bradley |
