Hi everyone! I was hoping if anyone could advise me on this.
I have a buzzing/ringing problem on the nylon String 1. However it's only the string nearest to the edge of the fingerboard. 2 notes have this
problem; the one-third position where the neck and the body is joined, and a major 2nd below it. For the former, there was some unevenness at the
joint area, which I suppose could be solved when the joint is flat using a sandpaper. The tone below it is a problem I can't solve.
The oud is Turkish and has an extremely low action, lower than normal. I've got another luthier to remove material on the fingerboard and this helped
increased the action by a bit. It resonates better now with lesser buzz than before. The new problem now is the nylon buzz. I don't recall having this
problem before. Strings are fine, I've tried new and old ones.
Does anyone else experience any problems like this?
Thanks so much!!

One of our own great forum luthiers John V posted this video on buzzing:

Lots of great advice that covers buzzing problems..... Have you watch this as of yet?
Cheers.
ps: I cannot stand buzz either!
