So, i get my new stagg eub, tune up, G string snaps, so eventually i find another one, tune up, snaps again, get another, and you'll never guess what? yup, snaps again, it won't tune to G at all, gets to E little bit farther...snap.

Now guys, what am i missing here?

Am i doomed to have a 3 string upright?

HELPPPP!

A tuner?

But seriously, the only way a string will snap at correct pitch is if there's something else putting strain on it somewhere. Or the strings could be crap? Is the bridge too far out from the body?

by the tuner, just took tuner off, seems a little sharp around the aperture, just filing it down as we speak...
