Cat-gut? Isn't that what the doctor uses to sew you up? Horse hair used for violin and fiddle bows.

Guess I will defer to you as I'm more knowledgeable with brass.

Ever heard of strings? That's what the cat gut reference refers to....

Who would've ever thought that taking a cat's intestines and dragging them across a horse's tail would produce a pleasant sound?

It's not really a cats gut...It's part of either sheep or cattle intestines that are used for the strings.
These days it's more common to use strings made of other materials for most insurments, but in "classical" music, gut strings are still preferred.

No. Horse hair is what a fiddles bow string is made of

Big difference between a fiddle and a violin. You wouldn't play a fiddle type tune on a Stradivarius. (Well you could, but the purists would cut your nuts off if they caught you.)


Same for a record player and a turntable.

The new flat-panel antennas seem to work well, so long as the stations are all broadcasting on the UHF band (channels 14 and above). Mohu and Winegard are two well-known manufacturers. Flat-panel antennas usually work best if they're placed up high on or near a window.

In the unlikely event that you're in an area where there are VHF signals (channels 2 through 13), you might need rabbit ears to pick those ones up, because the flat-panel antennas aren't really good for the VHF stuff.

Also, a pre-amplifier might help if you're in an area where the signals are quite weak.

You can’t violin a fiddle but you can damn sure fiddle a violin

and who in there right mind wants to screw around with an antenna when there cable or sat package will more than likely let them stream live tv plus run the DVR remotely. just get one of them HDMI doodads for your smart phone and plug it into the tv in the truck
