  The model of two dimensional quantum gravity defining the "Virasoro Minimal
String", presented recently by Collier, Eberhardt, M\"{u}hlmann, and Rodriguez,
was also shown to be perturbatively (in topology) equivalent to a random matrix
model. An alternative definition is presented here, in terms of double-scaled
orthogonal polynomials, thereby allowing direct access to non-perturbative
physics. Already at leading order, the defining string equation's properties
yield valuable information about the non-perturbative fate of the model,
confirming that the case $(c{=}25,{\hat c}{=}1)$ (central charges of spacelike
and timelike Liouville sectors) is special, by virtue of sharing certain key
features of the ${\cal N}{=}1$ supersymmetric JT gravity string equation.
Solutions of the full string equation are constructed using a special limit,
and the (Cardy) spectral density is completed to all genus and beyond. The
distributions of the underlying discrete spectra are readily accessible too, as
is the spectral form factor. Some examples of these are exhibited.
