I don't know if this is what people call a "buzz" but I don't think so after reading through those threads. Sorry I'm such a noob I don't know the terminology yet.
Anyway, if string 2 is still vibrating while I'm fretting on 3, and I go to pluck it, it will naturally mute of course. But as it does so it emits an audible "zoot" sound before I pluck it, every time.
Only string 2 fret 3, nowhere else.
I've examined the frets, nut, strings and bridge to the best of my limited ability and I can see no anomalies.
The uke is a 2013 Mainland Cedar top tenor. It belongs to a friend who changed the Aquila strings to Oasis fluorocarbons. He's fairly experienced and meticulous but he could have made a mistake. I'd like to buy this uke from him but not if it has this issue.
What might cause such an issue?
Or should I just change out the strings and hope for the best?
