String vibration and chatter with other strings

Sign in to disble this ad
Occasionally I will hit a not on my OLP that makes the other strings vibrate and sound.

It a little annoying trying to see if there is a way to tone it down maybe a small piece of felt under the bridge saddles etc?

Anyone deal with this before and no a good fix?

What you are describing is called "sympathetic vibration". Do a quick search and you'll find lots of info.

When it becomes a problem in your playing, it indicates that your muting technique is not up to par. Sorry, but there are no setup adjustments that address the prob.

There have been some attempts at remedying with foam rubber, felt etc. positioned in light contact with the strings, but anything that damps the strings will cause some loss of tone. YMMV
