<p>You are doubtless trying to tune an octave too high, and all wager that you are using a headstock tuner? Watch this, it might help.<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/C-wfo51zAvc?wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>

<p>I use a tuning app, as well as a clip on tuner, which displays frequencies and I tune my low G to 99.6 Hz. I have read that low G should be 196Hz or thereabouts, and I can achieve that but then cannot tune high G without breaking strings.</p>

<p>are you tuning to the correct "g"? you need a chromatic tuner, otherwise you could be trying to tune the string too high and break it.</p>

<p>Though checking the information the .044 or .046 wound strings should have been okay (based on a scale length of 25”).</p>
<p>Does your cigar box guitar have steep break angles over the bride or nut, or a tight notch the string runs through at the saddle or nut causing the string to snag and then break?</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
