I had a problem like that a couple of months ago. What happened was the silver winding on my D string broke and was loosening/unraveling from the string. When I would play the D or sometimes when I would play an adjacent open string the winding on the D would vibrate creating a raspy buzz. The thing was that it was difficult to spot because except for the buzz the string looked normal. I literally had to inspect the string with a magnifying glass.

Hello there!
I know this is an old thred, but I hope you could help me with a similar problem.
I have this same issue but only when playing on G note, doesn't matter on which string but only with G note.
I've checked everything on the hardware but nothing seems to be loose. And the thing that bothers me most is that only happends on a note, not on a particular string. So I have no clue.
Thanks a lot!












Has this just started happening, or has it always been like that ?
Also - a bit confused - -do you mean like "any note on the G string" or on "G" (and its octaves, anywhere across the strings ( like, playing G on the D string and octave up from the open G - is that OK or not ? )
I don't know if you are a beginner or not - but the lower strings CAN be initially a bit more awkward to play for many reasons - bow pressure, string type, rosin grip, actual fingering reach and so on - a whole HEAP of things.... give us a bit more info - we'll try to help...
If it is "always happening" on a G ( the open string G3, the stopped G4 on the D and the G5 on the E string ) that sounds like a body-resonance issue where the body ( enclosure ) just happens to have a specific (unwanted) resonance at that frequency (and multiples thereof). Frankly - I sort of suspect that's not actually the problem though.... LOL
Any chance of submitting an audio file to let us hear in more detail ?
I seriously recommend not copying my mistakes. D'oh -
Please make your own, different mistakes, and help us all learn :-)

Good point, Billy.
Very well thought out.
