Hm. I studied violin for twelve years and have no idea what that
means. It could mean some harmonic technique; maybe it is that
composer's (confusing) shorthand to playing a fifth artificial with b
pressed, f# touched, sounding an octave up from that. But it makes no
sense to write it that way, so must mean something else..

I would say it is definitely *some* kind of note (and not
articulation) due to the presence of a ledger line.
