Hi everyone, 

A bit of buzz is driving me crazy. I have a renaissance guitar and there’s a 
buzz that starts with the plucked note and dies down quite quickly. 

I’ve checked the bridge for any loose bits of string - nothing. 

I’ve checked the pegbox/peghead for loose buzzy strings - nothing.

No possibility of frets being too high and buzzing, as the buzzing happens at 
all notes at all positions. 

I’m hoping it’s not something beneath the soundboard that’s loose and causing 
the buzz.

It doesn’t buzz when the instrument is flat, with the rose facing up. It buzzes 
when the instrument is in a playing position - with the rose facing sideways. 
It buzzes with the rose facing down. 

I’m on the verge of having this sent to the nearest luthier, but have a 
performance coming up. I just hope the audience won’t be able to hear the 
subtle buzz, as we’re not being amplified…

Best,

Edward
