Not free but an excellent one is String studio by Applied acoustics (http://www.applied-acoustics.com/stringstudio/overview/) Its amazing, and whilst you at it, try out tassman and lounge lizard. Amazing sounds from them!

This is actually the same thing as Ableton Tension

Ableton licenses AAS technology for their own instruments (Analog, Electric and Tension)

Oh nice!

I didnt know that!

yeah, interesting, right?

Apparently the AAS ones are slightly better (not sure exactly why, maybe more options?).

Lounge Lizard is the best in my opinion, but still miles from something real. I'll a/b a lounge lizard with a doors tune or some shit and there's no comparison. Then again, the console, preamps, shit like that has a lot to do with their sound. Fm8 is a plinky sounding making monster. Or, record your on little taps or ping pong balls and filter the shit out of them.
