This is a summary of the 190 North American traditional carillons according to what is known about the presence or absence of a practice console somewhere on the premises of the owning institution. On a site data page, the location and condition of such a practice console (or, occasionally, multiple practice consoles) may be described in the Remarks section.
68 have a practice console identical to the playing console 36 have a practice console different from the playing console 1 has multiple practice consoles 18 have a practice console with unknown similarity 24 have NO practice console 43 - The presence or absence of a practice console is UNKNOWN.
"Identical" means that not only are the ranges of the manual and pedal keyboards the same as those of the playing console, but also all dimensions critical to playing the carillon are identical. It is possible to have identical ranges and still have distinctly different critical dimensions, e.g., key spacing.
