Index of all Asia and the Pacific Riman sites by maker

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

Carillons and chimes 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:

Rincker
Sergeys

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 = Tuned or re-tuned at the foundry

Finally, there is an indication of the type of instrument:

  chime/ring -some bells hung for change ringing plus others for chiming only

              (Only those by miscellaneous founders are listed here.)
  (...)...  - instrument was replaced; link is to the same site
  [...]     - instrument is defunct; link is to "sites that are no more"
              (for Miscellaneous foundries only)

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.
