They don't need to be. :P

That is because they are made to a certain tone or note. This note is determined by its diameter and the thickness of the metal part of the bell. Some small adjustments can be made to the bell after casting or the bell can be hung as cast (a Maiden bell)

The tone (i.e. - the overall sound quality) is determined by all sorts of factors, including where the bell is struck and its composition as well as its nominal tuning. The note of a bell is made up of several overtones or partials and these affect how the bell sounds overall.
