I tune to Eb open, lower RKR to C# and tune the nylon hex all looks good, but the string returns flat. It returns slightly less flat when I tune the the D split. String 9 also lowers D to C# and its ok. GFI Ultra S-10. Any Ideas? Thanks

click on this Charlie & look up " feel stop "
it's the proper procedure in tuning that 2nd string lower in conjunction w: string 9 lower
the second string half stop lower ( eb to d) is tuned w: the nylon tuner on string 9

sometimes when you run into that problem it may be adjusted to far in I would try first to back the nylon all the way back where you know its not against the changer, and also back any others that are used on the knee until you know its not against the changer then start over I bet you have one in too far
