Instruments out of tune

[rose_metal]

Hi, I'm not sure if this fits under Skills or just General, but I've noticed that my musical instruments (esp. guitar & piano) seem to go "out of tune".  Yet I can't see any interaction to tune them - not sure if this is a $relevant instrument skill or a Handiness skill, but my lvl 10 handi Dad doesn't have the option.  Do I just buy a new instrument every time one goes out of tune?

They sound "out of tune" at lower levels of the skill, just because they aren't skilled at them. Even when my sim got to about level 6 of violin, it would sound "out of tune" for a few seconds. I figured this was to make it more realistic, as when you pick up a violin in real life, you don't instantly find the right bow position and pressure, causing the "screech".

Still happens at level 10 though - even if I buy an instrument brand new.  Very frustrating!
