Changing classical guitar strings problem?
For some reason, as I stop tuning my high e, it constantly drops in pitch and won't go higher than a certain note. How to I fix this? I really need a classical guitar for tomorrow.

It sounds like the string is slipping. It's common for nylon strings to take a while to stretch in. They will go flat constantly for a couple of days. But if you can't get it up to tune at all it is probably slipping either from the tie at the bridge or, more likely, slipping at the tuner capstan. The string itself could be faulty. Get a new string on it ASAP. You really should not try to restring a classical if you need it the next day. Always try to give it at least a week to get settled in.
