Bobad I think you were right. I think it may have had a slight buzz or dead sound flopping around inside. I was just playing and that is what is different I think   I bet you are right it just wasn't loud enough to notice what was different. Typically when we hear a buzz from a fret we really know it.   I think it was just flopping around in there doing something that normally not notice.

Oops, I just re-read your post and see that it was not buzzing. I suppose that the label would have a theoretical effect on the vibration of the guitar back, but whether this would be detectable by most people is questionable.

legit question although maybe a dumb one but hey I don't make guitars and I don't sell them or care what kind a person likes. Classicals are    made of pretty thin wood to start with. The darn label is large ..

I suppose that if the label were partially unglued the sound vibrations may cause it to vibrate and produce a buzzing like sound, somewhat akin to that made by a waxed paper and comb kazoo.

I had that happen once, Old Dude, but when the label fell out, the guitar sounded worse.

The label that fell out said "Ramirez", but underneath it was a label that said, "Sears"--

Don't forget the correct grade of machine-head oil...!

I believe that you can get an even better sound by polishing the frets.

Ok, the paper label inside one of my old classical guitars fell out. The guitar sounds better. Can this be possible or am I just dreaming. It was not buzzing or anything so does the paper maker label affect the sound of a guitar or somehow interfere with the vibrations of the wood? I know the old Martins do not have a label but have the mark embossed on the inside bracing is this the reason? hmmmmm
