Changing the bowing wheel is very simple. Simply remove the bow cover and grab the ''wheel retainer'' with your index fingers and pull it off. Take care to not drop it into the case as this will be annoying to get out and be careful with the ''wheel holder'' as the nipple that the ''wheel retainer'' is on is quite fragile. | Changing the bowing wheel is very simple.

Take care to not drop it into the case as this will be annoying to get out and be careful with the ''wheel holder'' as the nipple that the ''wheel retainer'' is on is quite fragile. Now simply remove the ''bowing wheel'' and replace it with the new one and push the ''wheel retainer'' back on using your thumbs. | ||
When a new wheel has been put on the Ekdahl FAR, the instrument may have to go through the ''pressure calibration'' procedure again. Different wheels will depending on their hardness and ''protrusions'' have different reach of the string. If wheels need to be changed during a performance, please see the section on ''actuators''. | |||
