RE: Buzzing in low C/Bb

- Lack of oil in a pivot (especially left low levers).
- Lack of 'silencer skins' on these levers.
- A needle spring lightly touching against a part of a key where it shouldn't touch.
- Any loose screw.
- A part of a key or lever touching lightly against another. Check in the vicinity of where the F/C & E/B levers connect with their respective keys, when the keys are depressed as well as when they are not.

While you are creating the buzz, get somebody else to go carefully over the instrument, touching different parts in the vicinity of the noise. Whatever stops the buzz when it is touched - that is the culpret part.
