Indexes to chimes in North America

There is a page of site-specific information for each of the 650-plus known chimes in North America (Canada, Mexico and the United States of America).  To make it easy for you to find the page or site you seek, or to discover information about relationships among them, they are indexed in several different ways, as follows:

• by state or province and city

• by city and site-name

  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.

• by number of bells

• by pitch (or approximate weight) of largest bell

• by year of completion

• by bellfounder and year of installation
