Hybrid carillons worldwide

This index page lists all known carillons in which the principal playing mechanism is a hybrid between traditional and non-traditional components — either a traditional baton keyboard with electric action or traditional mechanical action with a non-traditional keyboard.  All are made of traditional bronze bells.  Do not confuse these with non-traditional carillons, which have both piano-style keyboards (or no keyboards at all) and electric action; nevertheless, the instruments indexed here are also indexed elsewhere on this Website with both traditional and non-traditional carillons.

In both groups, instruments are listed in chronological order of manufacture.
Links are to the site data pages which describe the instruments.
