The Ekdahl FAR - Bowing jack: Difference between revisions

Line 28:

If this becomes an issue that is not solved by changing to a fresh ''bowing wheel'', the ''bowing jack axle bolt'' can be adjusted. The ''bowing jack'' is suspended on the ''axle bolt'' using [[wikipedia:Thrust_bearing|thrust bearings]] and rubber washers, resonances can be lowered by adjusting how tightly the bolt is holding the ''bowing jack'' against the bearings. This will have to be done by ear, meaning tightening and loosening the bolt while playing the offensive frequencies while also making sure that no new ''resonant peaks'' are created. It is recommended that this is first done without a ''bowing wheel'' on the ''wheel holder'', once this has been done the same procedure can be done with a ''bowing wheel'' attached (but not touching the string).
