The walnut/cherry uke we made with the pattern of small sound holes is finished but... it buzzes when you play loud. The buzz is there in different octaves and on different strings but is more noticable in the bass and treble.
Otherwise she sounds excellent with good volume and range, a lot of harmonics, very good sustain and just a lovely voice - if it weren't for that nasty buzz.
Anyone have a clue what might help? It's not the frets, it's not the action (which we haven't brought down all the way yet), it's not the downward angle at either the nut or saddle... It's really coming from somewhere inside the body! Maybe the bridge plate? Although I don't know why the bridge plate would buzz - we glued it on with Titebond!
