My favorite poem about a buzz caused by two things almost touching is “Ode on a Grecian Urn.” Great video. Thanks.

A+ awesome video. I am doing my best to shape-up my grandfather’s mandolin, and see how many things can be easily overlooked.

My G string will buzz sometimes when I strum hard playing chords down in the first position. At first I thought the 2 strings were hitting each other, but I don't think that's it.

I find that the floating bridge is one of the worst offenders if it isn't seated right . I shine a light under the bridge and see where the high spot is and sand till it seats properly and no light passes thru .
