Not yet. I'm going to have her change both the bass and middle strings, since I think they are original to the instrument. After that, we'll see if that gets her back to where she was this time last week. If that doesn't solve the problem, I'm going to wonder what has come loose and started vibrating sympathetically with the middle string. "Damping" the middle string does stop the wolf tone....

My wife has a McSpadden that is about four years old. The other day as she was practicing she started noticing what she thought was a buzzing string when she played the low D on the second fret. I started looking at it this afternoon, and there is no buzz when the string is played by itself. Instead, when the low D is played and the A is also played, there is an octave undertone on A. It just happens to be very obvious when the D is played on the second fret. Any ideas, please?
