Off on this tangent, obviously bowed instrument's "embouchures" are the players' HANDS.
The violin/viola double requires comparable maintenance due to different fingerboard spaces. (You, the former 'cellist, understand this better than I do.)
Yes, I agree that doubling requires "maintenance", but no more time PER INSTRUMENT than playing ONE of the two instruments...
...YES, more total time due to working with two separate instruments -
just like the flute/piccolo/clarinet/alto/tenor/bari sextupler needs to spend a lot of time on each of their instruments.
