The Ekdahl FAR - Service
General service & maintenance
The Ekdahl FAR requires periodic maintenance just like any acoustic instrument. One key difference from traditional instruments is that the firmware can to some degree compensate for changes and variability in the hardware, meaning one can sometimes simply change a few software parameters instead of having to physically open up the instrument.
Periodic maintenance
Things like changing the bowing wheel and changing strings are very commonplace and aren't really considered maintenance. However, changing either of these may necessitate things like changing bridge heights, lowering or raising the mutes or bowing jack and changing the pickup height.
