Violin or Cello synth?

Hi All,

Does someone recommend me a link or method to do a nice violin simulator but by synthesis? No need to play a sample. I want to keep it simple.

This is quite nice, and convincing too. An additional approach to emulating bow noise is noise*pink*pink, suggested by Roman here.

or cheeze machine vst maybe? it is not been made to be "convincing", but it works.

And also very interesting is Chet Singer's Serenade made with reaktor. In the video it's used with a wireless controller for bowing:
