Hi all. I haven't posted here before, but thought this might be of use to you.
I've been fixing the ends of cut wound strings on various instruments for years
by putting super-glue on the cut. This has even worked for strings on a violin
that had a winding coming loose near the bridge. Let it dry completely before
installing.

A touch of clear nail polish at the cut?

Subject: [HG-new] low D drone issues
I've been using a Pro Arte 4/4 silver (perlon core) G cello string for the
low D drone on my D/G, and I love the sound, but these bloody things keep
unraveling and breaking on me. 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?
