== Bowing wheels in general == | == Bowing wheels in general == | ||
The sound of the Ekdahl FAR is just as much a product of the choice of bowing wheel as it is the choice of the string. Both the shape and the material of the wheel plays a big role in shaping the sound, certain wheels "inject" their own sound into the mix while others generally only emphasize those occurring in the string. Wheels are also ''consumables'' as they will wear down with play, this will change both the sound, playability, clarity of harmonics, the physical reach of the wheel etc. | The sound of the Ekdahl FAR is just as much a product of the choice of bowing wheel as it is the choice of the string.
