Catgut

While the so-called catgut used in violin strings is (thankfully) not made from cat intestines, real catgut has in fact been used in other musical instruments.

In Japan, a plucked stringed instrument called the samisen, somewhat like a banjo, has strings made from actual catgut—and with a cat skin stretched across its soundboard.
