Description
Description
Named for Rod Taylor of Taylor's Band and Orchestra in Akron, OH.
Rod pioneered using the larger P82 Wood Balls, in similar fashion to the way we have all used the smaller steel balls for many years.
Several years ago, we made him a special cable so that you could "tunk" the balls in a little further and after the work is done, you can "tunk" the ball back out very easily. If you hang the right weight driver balls onto the cable properly, the natural strength or tension of the cable will keep the balls suspended in the air; so that they don't bang on the inside of the bore.
There are 4 cables in the P83S set, 6", 7", 8" and 9" in length, so that you can use the method over the entire series of large barrel balls, including the steel ones, which are smaller than the wooden P82's.
There are also two threaded brass retainers, one for each end of the cable to keep everything contained and make it faster for assembly and disassembly, when changing ball sizes.
