[CAUT] Bass string & Aliquot bar contact noise

[Edward Sambell]

One instance I recall was a bass string too close to one of the tenor hitchpins, 
so that it touched under a heavy blow. Another was insufficient space between 
the string and the surface of the damper wire guide rail. This also needed a 
heavy blow to produce unwanted noise. This was visible as well, as one could see 
the string vibrating from side to side instead of up and down.

Thank you, all.

I misspoke about the damper. I did remove the damper wires on both sides of the 
string in question. Another detail I left out is the strings have been changed 
hoping to eliminate loose windings. That's what I thought it was at first

I will check the other things you mentioned. I'll slide a piece of paper around 
under string and above the aliquot and bridge pins and see if I can make it buzz 
on a hard blow or plucking it. I will check the other things mentioned and if I 
find it I'll let you know.

Thanks for your help.
Robert
