The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.

Wonderful sentiments, thanks for sharing. And also for sharing your knowledge--I was at a Christmas Eve celebration last night and one of the pro's asked me to attach a clear pickguard just like I had on my guitar (which was done easily after viewing one of your videos).

Wishing you the best in the coming years!
