Comment on The Buzz. by Mark Washeim

Hello,

I’ve noticed that adjusting the height of the loop within which the string rests can also solve string buzz against the fret board. I tune low (C#, F#, BEAD) and was having problems until I ‘forced’ the loop up higher on the bridge. Thanks for your advice!

Zakar,
I don’t know when it will be ready. My student who volunteered to do the coding had to stop working on it and won’t be able to resume for a few months for family reasons. The specifications of the page have been ready for a few months now.

Dear Saed Muhssin,

I’ve read your musings on the possibility of an Arab avant-garde with great interest. You mention a call for papers on the subject that you received. Would you kindly share that with me? I’ve been working diligently on the subject for some time now and would like to get in touch with others who are doing likewise.

Best,
