Damn! A buzz!

After a lot of playing I noticed a slight buzz. It seems that one of the ends of the upper bar has loosened from the top. If that proves to be true my first major repair is iminent....

Luckily the buzz only seems to appear when tuned low. I've played at A=415 with other violists fore some days. Retuning to A=440 made the buzz disapear.
At A=415 I could stop the buzz by putting a piece of a cork between the fingerboard and the top.
