Summaries of carillons and other tower-bell sites

There are many ways to summarize the available information about carillons, chimes, and other tower-bell sites.  We present here some simple tables or graphs which show

• state or province vs. size, for traditional carillons.  This also shows the total number of traditional carillons for each state/province, totals for the region and for each size group, and some other miscellaneous facts which can be deduced from the summary table.

• state or province vs. size, for non-traditional carillons.  This also shows the total number of non-traditional carillons for each state/province, totals for the region and for each size group, and some other miscellaneous facts which can be deduced from the summary table.

• state or province vs. type of instrument.  This also shows the total number of instruments for each state/province, totals for the region and for each type, and some other miscellaneous facts which can be deduced from the summary table.

• the distribution by bourdon pitch, i.e., numbers of instruments which start from a certain note (regardless of size), for traditional carillons only.

• the distribution of instruments by bourdon pitch vs. number of bells and by treble pitch vs. number of bells,
  for traditional carillons,
  for non-traditional carillons,
  and for chimes (separately plotted for baton keyboards and all other actions).

• Summary by decade and founder - the distribution of chimes according to when they were made and by whom.

• bellfounder's contributions to instruments [PLANNED]

We welcome suggestions about other kinds of summary or statistical information which you would like to see presented here.  Use the email link on the bottom line of this page to submit them.
