What is the rope caulks purpose? To dampen the plastic and stop it from resonating? I know nothing about all this and I'm curious.
I don't know what it does. All I know is, in the first few seconds they played when newly built, one of my first thoughts was 'plasticky treble' and would I regret leaving behind the woodhorns.
I once put the caulk on (so-called Cowbell) Altec 811s which had little, if any, effect. But I figured, "what the hell" maybe THEY had the right solution but the wrong horn.
