Dies anyone here play cello?

Wed Nov 18, 2009, 2:47 PM
I have had mine for like six months and I haven't been able to play it because it wont stay in tune for even a second. As soon as I let go of the tuning peg, it starts unwinding.

Does anyone know how I can prevent this? I pick the thing up to play and end up trying to tune for 30 minutes and never actually play. It's disappointing.

Either way, what an archaic tuning method, just a peg in a hole. You'd think they'd have at least put gears on it by now.

  • Listening to: This C string which wont stay in tune.
