I recently purchased an old Harmony uke with friction type tuners. The tuners fit nice and tight but my problem is that the slightest movement (either tightening or loosening) of the tuners and the string goes wildly out of tune. Is this common with ukulele's or is this something unique to friction tuners? Much thanks in advance for any help you can give a newbie!
