Cellos do, which means violins probably do as well! The craft technology required to make both is similar (ability to refine strings, shape wood for acoustics, etc). A quick google says the first evidence of existence of both is around the same time (1530's), although the cello might have been later (which definitely leaves you open to have your character play the violin if you like).
Sorry, off topic I know, but xD
