As for mixing I find that straight delays work well.
The style of your song and the part played should decide which note delay settings to use. Due to its many resonating sympathetic strings it is not "wise" to use a chorus or mod delays on it. Unless of course you ARE looking for THAT effect.

If its recorded in a good live room you can add just a dash of reverb to taste. And if not then use the early reflections to get some tone going along with the delay (with a LPF at 2K)

Happy "Sit-a-ring"
