if you don't see tails on the round end, and the size of strings comes in pairs, perhaps each pair is one doubled string, spread apart around pegs at the bottom? That is the stringing solution to some of those eccentric Marx instruments like ukelins & such or hammer dulcimers that have three strings per course (and the third string is shared between two courses)
