newmenco -> RE: the mystery of buzzing g-string? (Nov. 15 2009 9:38:04)

I'm new to flamenco, and nylon strings, etc., but I have a thought. What is the diameter of your G string? I saw that you changed it. But, that is three options: 1) put on new string, same brand (diameter is the same) 2) put on new string, different brand (diameter might be the same) 3) put on new string, different diameter When a string is plucked, it moves in an elliptical type circle. You said when you capo up, the buzzing diminishes. When you capo up, you are making the string shorter. A shorter string will have "tighter" or "smaller" ellipses. I'm thinking maybe that is why the buzzing gets less when you use the capo. So, maybe changing to a smaller diameter will help.
