[Eugene C. Braig IV] Do be mindful that all manner of things can cause
buzzing, from strings buzzing along lumpy frets to loose glue joints along
structural seams to damaged/loose braces etc. ad infinitum. Do get it
checked out, but stay open-minded regarding possible causes.
Best,
Eugene
Thank you for all the advice. It is very helpful. The problem is - and
the reason why I so far haven't done anything about it - is because it is
definitely seasonal. Fine for 10 months of the year and gradually getting
worse through July and August when we often have hot weather followed by
heavy rain. And then suddenly perfectly OK again. It is also pitch
related. It is focused around the high octave string on the fourth course
and the same note stopped at the 3rd fret on the second course. But right
now it is fine so if I take it to the luthier he might wonder what I am
banging on about.
I don't think it is strings or frets. Any other ideas will very welcome.
