Peter,

Well, uke strings do stretch. Do your tuning knobs have small screws running through them? If so, tightening these will allow you better keep the strings in tune. My dog has fleas!

On my cheap Ariana, I replaced the strings with Aquila Nylguts ($7.10 at Elderly) and it made a really big improvement. I also like Ko'oulu Golds ($4.25). But the strings won't help until you get them to stay in tune. Best to ya!
