String stops don't produce a realistic imitation of a stringed instrument, except in one unusual case. I've listened to an early 20th C. mechanical violin (A Phonolizt-Violina by Hupfield) and the extremely sharp, clear and focused sound produced by the rotary horsehair bow is almost exactly the sound of a violin pipe!
