OK, in the interest of adding a brain cell or two to this thread...
name an instrument that is kind of like an open harpsichord-- you sit at it kind of like with a steel guitar and pluck the strings-- may be a traditional American/Appalaichan thing...
Appalachian dulcimer ?

Such lack of knowledge!!! (this is for the sick man above that kills kittens for string with Domokun!):
May or may not be BillB-we’re not saying.
—Education Not Found Elsewhere On The Intertubes--
Catgut is a type of cord that is prepared from the natural fibre found in the walls of animal intestines.
Usually sheep or goat intestines are used, but it is occasionally made from the intestines of cattle,
hogs, horses, mules, or donkeys (which includes many ex-wives in this category).
The word catgut may have been an abbreviation of the word "cattlegut". Alternatively, it may have
derived by Folk Etymology (i.e., REDNECK) from kitgut or kitstring — the word kit,
meaning fiddle, having at some point been confused with the word kit for a young cat.
