Hi David and welcome. I'm retired from professional life and now a builder of instruments--mostly stick dulcimers. I've learned a lot along the way in this group. Enjoy!
Hi David. Sure, I’d be glad to be your friend on Nation. I have learned so much and have many good friends on Nation. It’s a good genuine club of like minded friends. Thanks for asking. ... Dave

Hi David...
I jokingly go by 'Elwood' (Elwood BOBBY Black) from my profile....
Thank you for the 'friend' invitation -- I am not a builder -- I jokingly call myself a player (as opposed to a musician.
Welcome...

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.
