Buzzing U1

[John Ross]

Hi Bob,
If it is a new Yamaha, get new bass strings from Yamaha.
If the buzz went away with twisting, that indicates a loose winding.
The twist may not be a lasting cure and the customer, deserves
a permanent fix, and I am sure that is what Yamaha would want.

Regards,
John M. Ross
