Index of all European Chimes by maker

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

Chimes and chime-sized tower bell instruments in Asia and the Pacific Rim region 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
Gillett & Johnston
Paccard
Sergeys
Taylor
Whitechapel
Warner
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

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.
