I have been trying to get ahold of “catgut” (actually sheep or other ruminant intestine, almost never cats!) for making new ukulele strings. A local sheep farmer says there is some kind of special regulation in place regarding the intestine. He said he would look into it. In the meantime, have you ever played or made catgut strings?
