I imagine Sam Ash or other music stores would carry it. Another trick is to use a graphite pencil and mark on the pegs very lightly (where they stick in the neck) and that helps reduce peg slippage, and ultimately helps the instrument keep its tune. It does take a while on a new instrument to fix.<br /><br />My reccomendation for now: pre-tune in advance, (ie. arrive early if possible) and if need be when we actually tune, or need a retune, poke Michael and he can do it quickly for you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00937244524205233704noreply@blogger.com
