It depends a lot on what you define as "nice". Instrument makers
typically tell you that you should tune above the resonances for a nicer
sound - go figure *.
Furthermore, the resonances are where the instrument maker makes them to
be - so again, no nature-given law, but human design.

*: the reason for that in system design is that you can tune (sic!) the
system behaviour in a more stable fashion.
