	Like all Knas instruments, the Ekdahl FAR - while a new and somewhat experimental concept - can be used for any regular musical composition and expression, but also allows for deep explorations of naturally occurring overtones within the realms of digital precision control and repeatability. The instrument is designed to perform excellently whether being in an improvisational setting, or being sequenced. All aspects of The Ekdahl FAR can be mapped to respond to any available ''control mechanisms'' (USB, MIDI, CV etc.) and emphasis has been put on configurability and modification both from a software and a hardware perspective.

	The Ekdahl FAR is a string based electro-acoustic instrument whose main way of generating sound is by utilizing a [[The Ekdahl FAR - Getting started#bowing wheel\|bowing wheel]] that rubs against the string and by very precisely controlling the speed of the wheel, emphasizing natural overtones in the string. The [[The Ekdahl FAR - Getting started#bowing wheel\|bowing wheel]] is situated on a ~~controllable~~ pivot which pushes the wheel ~~more or less hard~~ into the string in order to affect both volume and harmonic content. To further extend the capabilities of the instrument it also has a hammer, a variable mute and a electromagnetic pickup. While the audio path on The Ekdahl FAR is entirely analog-acoustic, the internals of the instrument is a highly sophisticated network of sensors, motors and a built-in computer running a complex firmware allowing for precision control and interfacing via USB-MIDI, MIDI, CV and USB-Serial.
