Tuned Bells?


At 8:15 a.m. the school bell rings to say school is now in session. I often hear it as I am on my morning walk. It sounds like the deep chimes of a grandfather clock - the first four notes of the 3/4 hour Westminster chime.  And every time I hear them I think they sound a bit out of tune, the fourth note in particular sounds off - maybe a little bit sharp? When I looked up similar recordings online, most of them sounded off to me as well. Why is that? Can bells be tuned?
