What Are Violin Strings Made of? 

Most violin strings fall into one of three categories: gut, synthetic, and steel. The oldest known type of violin string is “gut,” which literally refers to the small intestines of sheep or cows. Nowadays, it’s much more common for strings to be made from steel or a synthetic (often nylon) blend of fibers.
