This is an old classical guitar, it might be up to seventy years old. It buzzes with every note but it's the loudest on the G string. Please help.

The plate that the tuning pegs sit on looks loose at the top right of the picture, just above the peg for the g string (heh heh, g string ๐Ÿ˜ ). Try playing the g string and holding the plate in place.

If it's not that, try putting your finger on the other parts while you're playing, one at a time until the noise stops.

I think there's a fair chance a tuning peg is rattling, and also second your suggestion of putting a finger on each one, one at a time.

Thank you so much! I'll try that when I can. Euheuh, you said G string.
