Heyo, I searched around a bit but could only find people discussing string breakage and not exactly what I'm experiencing here.
I got a new set of strings and have restrung everything but my two high E-strings. (Stringing up .10's) I still have an old E string in place that I put in a few months back (also .10) that works perfectly fine.
The problem is, the new string, when tuning up starts to tune down at a certain point. Or tunes up very slowly despite multiple turns on the peg (3 turns for a half step, it's ridiculous) and then slips back down.
I have strung from the inside correctly, as evidenced by the two perfectly functional A strings I put in yesterday. What could be going wrong here? Do I need to do some sort of fancy wrap?
The problem is the string is already bent to heck around the post when I was able to get it up to C (briefly, I thought I could let it stretch out and tune to E) so now it's probably less than usable for restringing.
Apologies if this has been posted before (Or I stuck it in the wrong section) and I couldn't find it, and thanks in advance for any replies!
