Another great video Olaf! Not only is it entertaining, it is also informing for string players. In this pandemic, i actually had to become a mini "luthier" myself and fixed my violin (what i did was a secret) and one of your videos helped me. I hope maybe in the future, I could come work for you? Like the idea?

I know someone who plays cello which had a buzz. It only did it when she was playing at home. Turns out it that it was coming from a cabinet in the room, when playing certain deep notes it caused a harmonic sort of hum in the cupboard. Opening the cabinet door solved the issue.

When I worked on pipe organs, we would get a call that there was a buzz or a rattle when a note was played. Usually it was a loose piece of a cathedral's stained glass window. Trying to find the loose glass was quite the nightmare!!

funfact: I learned the term in my native language when I was around 6 years old and started playing the piano. Buzz is called "Wolfton" in German, meaning "wolf sound" or "wolf's note/ tune".

In French, "buzz" is called "bourdonnement". We speak also about "la quinte du loup" (i.e. the wolf's fifth), but it means the ugly interval we obtain when a piano or an organ is accorded with a particular temperament.

Had a buzzing sound when I played my subwoofer. I checked all the things in my room and it was definitely coming from the box. Then I checked all the screws etc, took it apart and turned it on to identify where the issue is coming from. It ended up being glue coming away at the cone edges so the cone came off - similar to the most common issue of buzzing in fiddles as I learned from you today :) . Was definitely an adventure. You can listen for the source of the issue but it only helps so much. I also ended up fixing the screws on the back plate of my woofer as a side effect - they had a tiniest buzzing which was not noticeable at medium volumes and I didn't address it until the larger issue. Good Canadian-made components - but assembled some where else. My cello bridge is also now in a better place than it was when I bought it thanks to you. It was really bad after I left it alone for some months but I started to regularly adjust it and it kept straightening as I played it to the point of settling into a much better position allowing strings to be closer to finger board - nice for the high parts :)

You can also have a buzz when you wear a shirt (with buttons in the collar). It happens quite often to me. Otherwise, great video ! I love this format. Can you do a video about the whistling E string ? I had that problem. I changed my string, it was a little better, I replaced the bridge, it was also a little better etc. In fact, the real problem was me (I changed the posture of my left hand and I have now a better flexibility of the right arm : that was the real solution), but it seems to me the whistling E string could be a interesting subject.

My violin only started buzzing after I changed the string, do you know what it could be? Never rattled before, put new strings on, now it only rattles on the strings I changed when I strike them open (bowing doesn't seem to do it). I only started playing violin last month, and I'm already super good at it, probably because I started as a guitar player for 20 years, really helped me know where the notes are.
