clarion= sharp

hi,
I have this really frustrating problem that the notes in my clarion register are very sharp. When I play a high G it doesn't make a difference when I put down the register key or not : the pitch stays the same. But when I go down , pressing the register key, the notes become sharp. The only way to play around is to extremly loosen my embouchure, wich causes the problem that when I slur down under the break I have to quickly tighten up in order not to play too flat in the low register.
What I would like to know is : is it me biting too hard ( I don't think so, because when I play double lip I have the same problem), is it the register key being too open or has it something to do with my barrel? I play a Buffet RC with Vandooren moutpiece B45 and Vandooren reeds 3.
Thanks
