I played a concert with a violinist recently, where I was live coding audio effects for each string independently via a quadraphonic pickup.
I was particularly struck by this effect when I pitch shifted certain strings by certain amounts - the timbre took on a distinctly vocal quality. I think it was when I shifted the A string up one octave.

A good violin may have one such sweet spot (hopefully in a commonly used key/register), while a great violin may have many such sweet spots for many different notes and keys.
