I first noticed a buzzing from the G string on my concert a few weeks back. I read the whole thread about buzzing and eliminated a lot of the possible causes. The buzzing was only noticeable when I was amplifying and really only when I played fairly loudly. Soon after that, I noticed that the jack is loose. It turns with little resistance and the whole assembly feels wobbly. Must be the source of the buzz
To fix this, I take it I need to turn the nut clockwise while holding onto whatever it threads into on the other side... in the interior. But there's no way my hand will fit in the soundhole much less deep enough to reach where the Jack is located. Do I need the help of someone with very small hands?
My second question is about strings. I had the same set on mine for a couple of years and they were starting to sound pretty dark. I'd also recently re-strung an acoustic guitar with "classical" strings and I didn't like the sound on that instrument. I live in Yangon, Myanmar, where there's not much in terms of ukulele supplies, so I took the DGBE classical guitar strings and put them on my Kala Baritone... sounds a lot nicer. 3 of the 4 strings are nylon. I'm not taking any risks here, right?
