Indexes to tower bell sites
in Asia and the Pacific Rim

Tower bell instruments or collections of 8 or more bells can be found in several countries of Asia and the Pacific Rim region.  This Website has a site data page for each such instrument or collection which is known.  (It also mentions, but does not describe, rings of 5 or 6 bells.)  To facilitate finding pages of interest to visitors, as well as to show related information about groups of sites, those site data pages are indexed in several different ways, as follows:

• Tower bell sites in this area can be categorized according to the type of instrument.  Each of the pages linked here presents a variety of indexes for one particular type of instrument:
  • Traditional carillons

  • Non-traditional carillons and carillon-sized sets of tower bells

  • Chimes and chime-sized sets of tower bells (including rings)

  • Rings alone

• The following pages are not segregated by type of instrument:
  • Combined index by country and city

  • Combined index by city, regardless of country

    If you are looking for a specific site by its institutional name (e.g., a church or school) or by the instrument's proper name, pick either of the above indexes and then use the "find in page" feature of your Web browser to locate a distinctive word (or partial word) in that name.

  • Combined index by bellfoundry

  • Combined index to all types of tower bell instruments in Australia by state/territory and in New Zealand by major island (North, South).

  • Sites that are no more (exhibited, relocated, destroyed, sold, stolen, etc.)

• Also available:
  • List of Oriental-profile great bells in this region

  • List of Western-profile great bells in this region

  • Regional locator map for traditional carillons

  • Regional locator map for all types of instruments, including great bells

    for traditional carillons and for non-traditional carillons and for chimes.
