With a violin player, simple enough: c(c) is often executed by playing
the same note but on a different string.

Take a look at the Ciaconne in the violin solo partita 2 from Bach.  The
last page of it has a number of these bowings IIRC.  There are also a
number of three or four string arpeggios in there that end up, in the
course of the modulation/progression, with several identical notes on
different strings right after another on a single bow.
