String Stretch
After putting on a new string, there is a tendency to believe that the string
is slipping, because the pitch will drop slightly over a period of time after being
tuned up. Actually this is the string stretching, and until the settling point is
reached it will be necessary to tighten the string periodically. Professional players
hasten this process by taking hold of the string and twisting it to get the stretch
out.
