I would consider using the 5, 4 and 3rd strings (A, D & G) then only the A needs to be tuned down a tone to G.
Something else to consider: what scale length are you using? Classical guitars (which use nylon strings) can be around the 650 mm to 660 mm length....so if you have a shorter scale length than this then that might have a bearing on why your strings sound a little bit sloppy. So you might then need to tune up to A E A.
Hope this helps,
Marty
No problem at all...glad I could have been of help. loo forward to seeing the pics.
Cheers

hey .. ps ..... try them with a slide . it may be hard to wrap your head around , but nylons slide pretty well , and sound real smooth . better with a rod than piezo or acoustic tho . ;-)
lol.., i expect you to come back and say "wow " now ;-)
sounds like your bridge and nut.issue... look up baritone uke tuning on youtube, here's a song i did using nylons
Very nice song, Bug
