Hi,
I sent a post there :
http://www.banjohangout.org/topic/236004/#2980835
and mbanza glady redirects me here.
So let me rewrite it :
Got two old banjos
barratt & wittner and ssstewart both built around 1890.
Since few months I love a lot a lot a lot putting guitar nylon strings on. Why : the sound is great, the touch is great (my humble opinion).
Of course they are thicker than usual banjo strings. (I'm using Savarez strings)
But, tuners are harders, and I wonder if the neck is not suffering due to tension ? I hope not because I can't imagine playing with different stuff these days.
