Oh pitch. What a b_____.
For your handbell situation, try using a slightly higher reed, if you have one. I think handbells are pitched higher than A440 reference if I'm not mistaken.
Other than that, just boost your air a little, and roll in a little.
If it is an older reed, try scraping the back, as this tends to raise pitch on finished reeds. Make sure to scrape ONLY the channels, avoiding the rails and spine, otherwise pitch can go down. If the pitch doesn't change dramatically, it should at least give you better flexibility to bend the pitch up.
