The table below shows the distribution of all types of tower bell instruments in North America by state or province. The column headed "Total" shows the combined number of instruments in each state or province. The next three columns show the corresponding numbers of traditional carillons (excluding the two traveling carillons), non-traditional carillons and chimes. At the far right, the column headed "TNr" is intended to show the total number of bells in these instruments, but those figures have not yet been compiled. Additional explanation can be found below the table.
