I just bought a UKULELE and I'm not sure what types of STRINGS are on here. HELP?

I bought this uke from the pawn shop. It's a Mahalo u-320c. It came w/ 3 diff. strings. Two are black (rubber maybe). One is silver and looks like a skinny guitar string, and the other is a rusty, copper-colored version of the last one.

Update:

It's a concert uke but ok

    Ukulele's use nylong strings that you buy from any music store

    the biggest string is a nylong string covered in a zinc or copper coating

    they are not rubber they are nylon

    It sounds like you have a baritone uke

    take it to a real music store and have them help you pick the correct strings

    the black ones are nylon

    the other are probably steel

    you should probably get some new strings though. any insrument store should have them. if not, then there is always amazon
