I suggest you use the "search" function to check out your questions.
You'll probably find several weeks of reading to keep you entertained and informed.

At around that time, Buffet made a bunch of R13s (mostly A clarinets) that had the reamer run too far into the upper joint from the top. Those instruments are quite easy to recognize. Just play up the left hand clarion and notice that things get monotonically sharper as you go up from 3-down G to the Thumb C.
I'm sure that you'd be aware of that character by now if it were part of your instrument.
Other than that and the possibility of wide 12th in the pinky key notes (F/C in particular), I know of no hazard that can't be pretty well compensated by fiddling with the tuning barrel.
