Oh, sorry. I read Most instruments that [aren't fixed tuning] (...) instead of Most instruments that aren't [fixed tuning] (...). I'll delete my comment @ToddWilcox

| Mar 17, 2017 at 13:50 | comment | added | paulhhowells | It is probably worth mentioning (in your question) the environment the guitar is kept in. If the temperature changes then that is a likely cause. e.g. the room cooling down at night, or sunlight through the window (or stage lights) shining on it, or central heating raising the temperature. Do you keep it in a case, or leave it in a room? Do you take it outside? | |

| Mar 16, 2017 at 13:48 | comment | added | user19146 | The relative tuning of the strings may be acceptable (i.e. the guitar sounds "in tune" when you play it) even if the absolute pitch changes slightly because of changes in temperature, humidity, etc. A tuner is measuring the absolute pitch, of course. As a beginner, you might not have learned yet how to "trust your ears" rather than always use the tuner! | |

| Mar 16, 2017 at 12:21 | comment | added | Todd Wilcox | This is why we have tuners. Most instruments that aren't fixed tuning (e.g., pianos, harmonicas, accordion) have to be tuned, at least a little bit, every time you play them. If you think about it, the musicians in a orchestra are tuning again for probably the tenth time that day, right before they start a concert, and then again at the end of intermission! And rock stars tune between songs in a single show (or have their roadies do it while they just switch out for a just-tuned guitar). | |
