    I'm looking to get a Ukulele. Our choices are Tanglewood and Korala and we're wondering which one would be better. I was playing the Korala and it seemed to loose it's tuning very quickly. Is that normal for a new Ukulele?

    yes nylon strings. Which is better Tanglewood or Korala. Seems alot of money for it to loose tuning as fast as it is.

    If it had been brought up to pitch and not kept there then this is what happens with Nylon strings, they stretch a lot and take a couple of days to settle. If you put a new set on and bring it to pitch it will soon go out of tune, bring it to pitch again and keep repeating. The tanglewood may of gone though this and was settled in.
