Acoustic strings can be quite a loud source so I'd mic a foot or two away, depending on what kind of sound you're after. I'd say mic closer if you want a more raw rosinny sound and further back for a smother tone.

I'm quite the amateur myself but I would think you could get a decent sound with the single C4000 if it were an accompaniment instrument in the mix, but as it's a solo recording, I would try and get hold of a matched pair of small diaphragm condensers with a decent low and mid response particularly and use stereo A/B.

Just my thoughts, anyone else feel free to tell me if I'm totally wrong, I'm still learning!
