Are violin strings really made from cats intestines?

Nope. Sheep’s intestines. The material known as catgut, used for the strings of stringed instruments, is actually made from the dried intestines of sheep. Nowadays, however, many strings are made with synthetic materials, which last longer and aren’t as sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity.
