    I do the stretch gently (lift up away from fretboard) as I tune upwards. I read somewhere that may no be a good thing, but it has served me well. Still need to tweak the tuners for several days every time I pick it up.

    The stretch up may affect the bridge especially if it is just glued down. I know a lot of people do do it that way though and most ukes seem unaffected. Thanks for watching!

    I have heard that the streching of strings by 'pulling' them can affect innotation.
