NOTE: This list is not complete - many instruments remain to be added for Belgium, France, Germany and the Netherlands.
Carillons and chimes throughout the world contain bells supplied by a variety of bellfoundries. There is a separate index page for each major bellfoundry, plus one for unknown foundries; this page collects together references to work by minor or "miscellaneous" foundries, i.e., those which did not produce sufficient work (that we know about just now) to have their own index page (yet).
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:
trad - carillon with traditional keyboard
trad* - carillon with traditional keyboard now,
but with other mechanism and/or chime size at the date cited
non-trad - carillon with non-traditional mechanism
non-trad* - carillon with non-traditional mechanism now,
but either chime size or with traditional keyboard at the date cited
mech? - carillon with unknown mechanism
chime - chime (any mechanism)
great - great bell (at least 4 tonnes weight), whether or not in a chime or carillon
