My flamenco blanca produces buzzing sound when strum hard. is it common for flamenco blanca? is it due to low action?

RE: flamenco buzz (in reply to erictjie)

most likely the low action, the harder you hit a string the wider its vibration will be, meaning it needs more space to vibrate freely, wich makes it more likely to hit a fret and buzz.

can also be due to the angle your hitting the string at, making the string vibrate up and down, rather than sideways.
