Does a 980 bell fit a 983?

[ShoelessWes]

Completely random and odd question.

Is the 980 bell a direct solder on to the 983? Just what effect would this have on the horn?

(who has access to a cheap 980 bell and would probably give it a shot for kicks if it was a direct connect)

I thought, or was pretty sure at least, that the 980 has a 17" bell and the 983 has a 19" bell... I could be wrong, but if I am, the Besson website is wrong, as well.

Then you should be able to put a larger bell (981/2) on a 983...

That's what I get for 'a trustin' that thar internet.

Not sure why anyone would want to do it though...

Yeah, bigger...eh, not so much.

I imagine that a 981/2 19" bell would fit a 983. Not sure why anyone would want to do it though...

To make a broader 981/2 tone with front valve action?

Pfft.
