classical guitar question ...
-
When I change strings on my bass guitar I stretch them by pulling them away from the neck. That stabilizes the tuning faster. I suppose you can do that on a classical guitar too but don't pull too much ;)

Just to avoid misunderstanding, is that the neck of the guitar?
Yes the neck of the guitar!

Have you tried one of those gadgets which helps you tune the guitar? Don't know what the name is tho.
Fingers.

That's tuning a different G String.

(CP is sometimes better than google) How low does it take for new strings to "stabilize" their tuning ? i've re-stringed the "family" guitar, a 40-ish year old guitar Yamaha classical guitar, for mother's day (for mom, obviously). The guitar was stringless for a while, and I've been tuning and re-tuning for the last few hours. any idea ? Thanks.

Do you mean a classical guitar with nylon strings? If so, the answer is forever. I have a ukulele that takes nylon strings and the few times I've replaced them it's been nearly unplayable for days on end before those stretchy little bastards stabilize. If it's steel string, the strings themselves will stabilize with in a day or so. Faster if you tune it and play it repeatedly. But the neck and guitar might also take some time to stabilize if it was without strings for a long time.
