Hi
I'm currently building an Guitar Shaped Octave Mandolin with a carved top. I used X-Bracing and whilst tuning the braces I noticed a buzz when tapping. I couldn't get rid of the buzz so decided to strip the braces and re do them. However, the unbraced top still buzzes when tapped.
It seems to be coming from one of the f-holes which I have bound with black fibre veneer (although I'm not certain this is where the buzz is coming from).
I wondered if reinforcing the f-hole with cloth tape would be a good idea?
I'm a bit worried that the top will continue to buzz when I have completed the instrument which would be a disaster.
Any ideas on what might be going on??
Thanks in advance for your help.
Matthew
