Hi Romy,
I do believe that you can benefit from the study of making violins. It is one of the few instruments that are essentially "finished" in development. They have an essentially perfect string length for the played frequencies, the body size and shape has predictable and reproducable resonance pattern, there are millions of details to be understood.
In addition, the way that a violin is played next to the ear of the musician would give you remarkable insite into why string sections sound the way that they do. The applied effects of bow rosin would also for sure inspire you for further interesting things with the Macondo and Melquiades. A good set of strings lasts about as long as a set of 6C33C do, so maybe there is some synergy there too!
