Now, recently I took it out to start learning it, but I find that the action has slightly raised (I feel so ) and the Strings wont stay in tune !!! I tried to tune it with my Elec-Tuner too, but I feel its still not in tune.

Is it because the Strings have worn out ? Or has the Neck warped as it was kept without playing ? Is changing strings on a Classical Guitar very Difficult ? Sorry for so many questions, but I dream that I could play my Nylon-Strung (its my Fav Instrument )

Thanks and Lots of Care to All

Hi Kush,

Glen (UGB) would know more than I do about this,
From what you've said it sounds like the neck may be warping center up, if you know what I mean, but probably not after just three months...

I mostly play my nylon most of the day when I have the time, and I've recently changed the strings, not hard at all if you've had some experience, the first time I did, I sweated into a mess...

Maybe the tuners are bad quality, and how old are the strings about?

I wish I could help more Kush,

Good luck,
Jean
