Index of all Asia and the Pacific Riman non-traditional carillons by maker

NOTE: This list is not complete - many instruments remain to be added.

Non-traditional carillons in Asia and the Pacific Rim (excluding Great Britain and Ireland) contain bells supplied by a variety of bellfoundries. Most such sites (exceptions as noted below) are listed here by foundry in the following order:

Unknown
Eijsbouts
Petit & Fritsen
Paccard
Rincker
Taylor
Whitechapel
Miscellaneous, not listed above

Within each foundry group, sites are listed in order by year of installation (unknown first).
Following the year is an indication of the founder's contribution to the instrument:

C = Complete instrument
F = Foundation; originally a complete installation, later expanded
I = Intermediate expansion
E = Final expansion to current state
R = Recast/replaced (without changing number or disposition)
T = Tune or re-tuned at the foundry

NOTE: Some installations may have been chime size at the year cited.
NOTE: Installations which had a traditional keyboard at the year cited are marked "trad#".

NOTES:

Defunct instruments which were not replaced are not listed here, but may be found in the individual complete indexes for particular bellfoundries (see list).
When relevant, links to the separate index pages for the total output of each foundry are available at the end of a foundry section below.
For foundries outside this Region, the site list below is a subset of the foundry's total production. Links to the individual foundry indexes appear below.
