I would like some interesting overtone string sounds, like violin maybe, and so on. Any hints?

here are some experiments of mine to get something violin-like. Can't remember if it was any good. Looking at it I think it's basically two triangle waves, slightly detuned in relation to each other. A spike of noise at the start to emulate the initial scratch of the bow hitting the string, and them some vibrato for that typical violin sound. https://github.com/plexus/mad-sounds/blob/master/src/mad_sounds/sessions/aarschot_2023_12_09_violin.clj
