Tuned like a guitar, played like a six string viola.

Capable of both sweet beautiful sounds, and making you want to slit your own throat rather than listen to the sounds it emanates.

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.

"Capable of both sweet beautiful sounds, and making you want to slit your own throat rather than listen to the sounds it emanates."

That describes every guitar I have ever touched. Well I assume they are capable of sweet beautiful sounds. . .
