buzzing on a resonator

I have a Liberty squarneck resonator guitar, witch I have been playing for a couple of months. The guitar started to buzz as the humidly dried out.
There is no buzzing if I just strum the string, but it buzzes quite badly when I playing.

Any suggestion would be of great help, or maybe there is a web site out there

Thanks

If it's buzzing when you play a chord, with the bar all the way across the strings, then you have a string that is lower than the others. Lay the bar across the strings, and try to slide a piece of paper or something under each string. If that IS the cause, all you'll need to do is file the nut slots down, till they're all even.
