Chimes (sets of 8 to 22 conventional bells, rung by any mechanism) can be found in many countries around the world. Within this general category are found rings and zvons. This Website has a site data page for each such chime which is known, except as indicated below. To simplify finding pages of interest to visitors, those site data pages are collectively indexed by continent or country as follows:
|
Continental regions:
North America Europe - > - > - > Central and South America Asia and the Pacific Rim Africa and the Mideast |
Europe: British Isles (omitting most rings) Belgium Denmark France Germany Italy Netherlands other European countries |
The zvons that are included in the relevant chime indexes above are also separately indexed.
The rings that are included in the relevant chime indexes above
are also separately indexed as follows:
North America
Africa and the Mideast
Asia and the Pacific Rim
For all rings in the British Isles (and elsewhere), see
Dove's Guide online.
For mini-rings (tenor less then 56 pounds), which are not included in Dove's Guide, see
The Mini-Ring Directory.
Other European countries and other continental regions have no rings,
except that there are three recently installed rings on the European mainland;
they are only indexed among the chimes of France and the Netherlands (see above).
