Axis DTuna Question

[mikebu]

Just put a D-Tuna on my Axis Tribute.

When I go from D to E my low E string is tuned perfectly but some other strings go very slightly flat when checking them on a tuner. I am running with 2 springs.

Is this normal?

If not normal should I tighten the spring claw a little bit?

Check out this old thread. A bunch of us had trouble with the D-Tuna on our tributes:

Yeah I have seen that thread. That is talking about clearance between the body and the DTuna.

My question is if the guitar is tuned perfectly in drop-d and I switch my low e to E is it normal to see some strings go just a little bit flat. Note my low E is perfectly in tune. You can't really hear the flatness but will see it in the tuner.

Is this normal if not how do I fix it?

Not enough pressure from the springs in the back. Tighten the 2 screws holding the claw about a full turn or so and see if its still doing it, that should fix it.
