Distribution of non-traditional carillons
in the British Isles

The two grids on this page display graphically the distribution of non-traditional carillons in the British Isles according to the weight/pitch of either the heaviest or the lightest bell and the number of bells in each instrument.  Both grids are laid out as follows:
