The. gut of a cat is no i more suitable for such use than that of a ' mouse and as far as my investigation goes has never been so used. Violin strings are made of many kinds of skins, but. principally out of `sheepskins. The secret is in curing the skins, `which has always been kept in Italy, where all the liner and 5 better grades of strings are made. There are, however, several concerns in this country which turn out musical strings, and they make a very good grade, though they do not compare as yet with the Ital- ian strings. - A kg onann I-A-nus -mu-...
