Thanks everyone for the useful replies! In the end, I thought it safer to wait a few days until my next lesson and to get my teacher (René Meeuws) to take a look. He fixed the problem, and it turned out to be a combination of a number of small adjustments:
- Reapply cotton on string - Light sanding of the foot of the dog to ensure better contact - Light filing of the notch of the dog to move the string back slightly - Slight trimming of the width of the foot of the dog to make it smaller The combination of all of these has resulted in a great buzz! Not sure I would have risked doing all that myself, but having seen someone else do it, I know what to do in future.
