Do violins prefer sharp keys?
Yes, the sharp keys lie more naturally than the flat keys on a violin. This is because the tuning of the four strings corresponds to the tonic notes of the sharp major keys G (1 sharp), D (2 sharps), A (3 sharps), and E (4 sharps). The minor keys are mixed, as follows: G (2 flats), D (1 flat), A (no sharps/flats), and E (1 sharp). Overall, therefore, the open strings are more comfortable in sharp keys than in flat keys.

Why do keys do keys have the same pitch but different key signatures?
There are three keys which are called "enharmonic keys", the three enharmonically equivalent key signatures are B major/C-flat major, F-sharp major/G-flat major, and C-sharp major/D-flat major and likewise their relative minors. B/C-flat, F-sharp/G-flat and C-sharp/D-flat all share the same pitch but are just notated in two different ways. In an other way the keys mentioned above are just one key going by two different names but they use different accidentals and are written on different lines/spaces.
