Try a drop of krazy glue around the area just before you cut it. If the string is already installed, put some krazy glue around the end and where the string goes around a bend - as it comes out of the headstock / goes around the orielle.

In particular they seem to unravel up at the tuning peg. You have to cut the string to use it in a gurdy, gurdies being shorter than cellos, and the cut end is just waiting for an opportunity to unwind, and then tear itself out of the tuning peg. Is there either a more reliable low D drone string that some of you can recommend, or is there a way to stabilize the cut end of the string so it doesn't unwind?
