NOTES:

  1. This index not only is geographic but also includes information from the mechanism-specific indexes for this region.  Sites are tagged as follows:

    trad
    traditional carillon

    non-trad
    non-traditional carillon (all mechanisms)

    chime
    chime (all mechanisms except rings)

  2. Cities which have (or had) a carillon or chime during a historical period when they were part of, or were occupied by, a different country may be cross-referenced by the name which they bore in the language of that country.  For the same reason, place names are sometimes given in alternate languages.  Such references enable the reader to connect historical references with present circumstances, and are not intended to make any political statement regarding past or present facts.

  3. If you do not find here a city (or instrument) which you think should be listed, then check the page of sites that are no more or the combined index to all sites for this region.

  4. Many known carillons and chimes remain to be posted here.
