I have found stretching the crap out of em per another Terry Bell video I saw on youtube helps get them all stretched out so they creep back to previous tuning a lil less. I'm sure if you retune often enough the strings will comply.<br />

I found it frustrating to retune so I just keep various fretless banjos tuned differently.

<p>What type/brand of nylon strings are you using?</p>
<p>I use Aquila Nylgut 'Minstrel' set (a little heavier gauge than Nylgut's 'Classic' set) and after the first few days of breaking in, they seem pretty stable when I change tunings.</p>
<p>That said, any time you change tunings the strings will exhibit a tendency to creep back in its previous pitch's direction- but that minor and after a half a tune you can tweak it a bit again and it should be fine.</p>
