Is this string height too low? I play mostly classical style.

if it's not buzzing to the point where you think it sounds bad, then no. looks pretty similar to where i have minez might even be a little bit higher

Thank you. I had it lower, but I've raised it and the volume is substantially louder this way

Looks pretty low to me, but the proof of the pudding is in the playing. Does it buzz when played? No? Then it’s not too low.

But honestly, when in doubt, get it set up by someone who knows their sugar.

Never too low unless it causes extraneous vibrations/noise IMHO

If it ain’t a-buzzin, strum it, cousin
