I find the info on the website a bit confusing.. Are there a difference in taper between these bells?

Slightly, the 47 has a different thickness profile, slightly smaller stem, different bead.

Nice, Thank You... Have You tested the difference in sound also?

Yes, it's noticeable. Of course the artisan chassis is different as well, so it can't be compared exactly..

I personally prefer a good 42 bell, a bit larger and warmer sounding.

Different chassis too... Wow.. I havent been playing attention . Can You explain what the difference between the 42 and the 47 chassis is? ( sorry for all the questions.. I'll stop now ).. Btw, i suspect that i would enjoy the 42 more too..

47 has a reversed tuning slide (though I think the taper is the same...?).

Different valve options, slightly. Slides are different too.

Hmm.. Interesting.. The 42 has a rather tight neckpipe.. Maybe its bigger on the 47 due to the reverse Tuning..

I think that is a different part on the 47. Don't quote me on that though.
