    Some saddles can cause a buzz - but the barrel saddles shouldn't as they have a string forcing the saddle down at each screw in post.

    I have only had tuners vibrate when the nut has come loose!

    I noticed that the tuners were vibrating when they were not strung. took a while to figure out where the "fuzzy" sound was coming from. But if the tuner is not strung, the "post" can move a bit.

    My youngest daughter thinks that most of the buzz comes from the bridge and a fainter "tinnier" buzz from the first fret area....

    Good thinking choosing the youngest daughter. No doubt the one with the best hearing ;-)

    The faint, thin buzz may be from the capo. If you can tighten it down a bit...
