My experience with using leader is that gut is more likely than nylon to break at the knot eventually, nylon more likely to slip. Neither problem is serious and you should have lots of trouble-free playing. Indeed, if you arrange it so the knot rests on the nut, it will prevent sticking at the nut. -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
