sounds good. had you done that looping thing around the tuning peg to increase tension in the string? if you have enough excess string simply wound around the peg it 'should' tighten itself naturally over time but it's not exactly the best solution.

the other thing with nylon strings (this more of a personal preference thing), is that they tend to 'die' quickly. my father used to play a classical guitar and he would replace his strings every other week or so. they never lasted a full month, but he was also of the opinion that he couldn't properly practice and develop his abilities as a musician if his instruments weren't in tip top shape all the time.
