Went to play my favorite baritone last week and there was a terrible rattle/buzz coming from what seemed like the inside near the bottom . sounded like a loose brace. It was really bad. Today I loosened the strings and was barely able to get my hand in [or out]. I felt all around , there is only the tail block and a thin bridge plate that extends to the sides down there, besides the thin solid mahog binding strips[i forgot the name of the strips used to reinforce the joint between the top/bottom and sides.] Anyway, I couldn't feel anything loose, and when I got my hand out and tuned er up. no rattle! I'm pleased , but a little confused.
