Bellfoundry indexes
The bellfoundries listed below have supplied bells that are (or were)
contained in carillons or chimes that are described on this Website.
For each such foundry, the link given is to an index page which lists all such instruments
(and any "great bells") in chronological order.
Other work by these foundries (single bells, peals, clock-chimes, etc.) is not indexed.
NOTE:
For the European foundries, only their exports to the Americas are currently
indexed fully.
Expansion of those indexes to cover the remainder of the world is in progress.

A few foundries have contributed to only one installation in the areas currently indexed.
These do not (yet) have separate index pages, but they can be found listed at the
end of the combined foundry index for the particular geographic region of that installation,
as well as in an
index of unknown and miscellaneous foundries.
There is no particular significance to the order in which foundries are listed above.
