[sdiy] Ideas for synthesizing an electric violin?

[groovyshaman]

Well, not violin, but how about electric cello? :)  My friend has built
two body-less cellos.  We hooked one up to my modular using piezo
pickups through a homebrew single tranny preamp.  I unfortunately do not
have any sound examples, but yes it was interesting.  I'll record some
next time, if I can stay sober enough to work the software (knobs and
switches are always easy :).
