You've had so much advice on your situation that I hesitate to
comment but I think the fit of the tenon joints on all new clarinets
should be at least 'a little tight', if not more, and I would delay
any adjustments to the tenons for the time being.
Also, if you are used to the tuning of a student clainet,
particularly the Vito, you are going to find all top line instruments
'flat' in comparison and considerable embouchure may be needed,
particularly if you double on sax.
My apologies if you have already considered all this.
