I am using the high two strings from a set of dulcimer strings the top tuned to A and the lower one tuned to D I am only using the top A as a drone string when I play. I play in a sort of claw hammer style banjo thingy.

Best power tool for building?

Started by Justin Stanchfield in Building Secrets, Tips, Advice, Discussion. Last reply by Justin Stanchfield 2 hours ago. 9 Replies 0 Likes

Buzzing strings when fretted. Frets look good. I have a zero fret license plate guitar. Break angle I can inprove at the nut however the buzzing is coming from the bridge, I used a banjo bridge.
