Middle G is low

Hi,
On my clarinets, Bb and A, the throat G is a bit low. The G#, and A are not that bad, but the G is noticibly low.
I have 2 ways I was thinking about fixing it and I would like some experienced advice before I start cutting. I have done tone hole work many times before, but not here.
That hole (under the A key) lies in a 'well' deeper than other padded holes, and I was thinking that it might be better to open the wood around the pad so that the air can escape more easily rather than just undercut or make the hole a hair bigger. I have seen this done on the surrounding wood of the low tone holes before but not on the throat G hole.
Thoughts?
