At times the ''bowing jack'' will need to be adjusted, this could be because the ''bowing wheel'' cannot reach the full ''pressure'' wanted or because the ''bowing wheel'' is still touching the string when in the ''rest position''. The ''pressure motor'' can be moved so that the range of the ''bowing jacks'' movements comprises the entire range of the ''bowing wheel'' not touching the string, to it being pressed into the string hard enough to create a full sound. Before moving the ''pressure motor'' the user needs to make sure that the [[The Ekdahl FAR - Changing the string#Bridge heights|''bridges'' are placed in the right position]] and that the movements of the ''bowing jack'' aren't simply hampered by the current [[The Ekdahl FAR - Calibrations|calibrations]]. | At times the ''bowing jack'' will need to be adjusted, this could be because the ''bowing wheel'' cannot reach the full ''pressure'' wanted or because the ''bowing wheel'' is still touching the string when in the ''rest position''.
