Hello Amarock,

I have that type of set. Actually they are very good strings a lot of oud players like to have the D string in nylon. It usually get tuned very easy because it does not take that many turns on the peg compared to the rest of the strings. The reason for my post is to bring to your attention that I kept turnning the peg over the string limit thinking that it needs that many turns. Try again and see what happens. Unless you have a faulty patch of strings.

Please share your findings.

Good luck
