Nylon Strings?

From bornold on 4/11/2014 8:36:52 AM

I am a clawhammer banjo player that is very interested in learning stroke style. I love studying civil war history and am quite fascinated with the era and the music within it.  Guess I should get to the point.  I have a Prust Fretless A-scale strung with nylon strings.  Great banjo for clawhammer.  What I am wondering is due to the fact that it is an A-scale+Light Nylon strings, are the strings going to become to floppy when I go into the standard minstrel tuning?  Wish I ordered it with nylguts, but I wanted to be able to tune up to A so I could play with a fiddler. (didn't know about moving the bridge)  Any advise would be VERY appreciated
