I have exactly this problem at my church where we have two violins and a
cello. I have had to specifically ask the music arranger not to score
the two violins on the same part, but instead, give them separate
harmony lines.


If a melody line needs to be reinforced by doubling the part, it's much
more effective if they are an octave apart. This would also avoid the
phase interaction problem as the harmonic structures are just too
different to create that sort of interference.


True - that's another way of solving the problem if only two players are
available.
