Probobly your tunner, those machine heads on top of your guitar, are broken or loose. Best thing its to go to any guitar shop (service) and see if they can be fixed or changed.
Every time you pull your hand over, vibrations make your strings go fable and they tune out. They have to be tight all the time.

It would help if you told us what kind of accoustic it is. And, are you sure that you ever really had it in tune?

Changing the strings would really help if they're very old. Once they get all stretched out, you need new ones. Plus they get all rusted and icky xD

yes, im certainly sure they were in tune, checked it with 3 people, and had my dad make sure(hes good with sound) then i do my scales, them when i stum it its out of tune! plus, it isn't a name-brand acoustic so im not sure what kind it is... crying

well, get it checked out
are the strings too new or too old?
that could be why
or the tuning keys are messed up

It's probably the tuning knobs going loose on you....that happens alot.
So no big deal...new strings wouldn't work if it's the tuning knobs...but
looks like you have plenty of input on the subject. mrgreen

and smash the guitar on the ground
