My Violin Sounds "Funny." Common solutions to everyday problems.

That tapping on the tailpiece test saved me a visit to the luthier! I changed one string (A) and all of a sudden I heard the buzzing noise especially when playing on the open strings. Little did I know it was the chin rest and not the string that was the problem! Thanks for that test!

My violin is creates a white noise sound (air sound) when I play the E string , I can also hear it slightly on the A string, but it’s quite noisy on E and higher notes, any thoughts. Would be appreciate.ps I have had position of sound post checked

[@chuckdearruda6271]

If the sound post was falling loose, wouldn’t you install a new one just a little longer?

When I plucked my strings, my d string doesn’t ring normally

[@fiddlefaddle1]

If you have a fine tuner on the d string, check to see if its loose and you just need to tighten it up a little.
