As does playing in tune with yourself (especially in altissimo-land). Playing clarinet with good intonation is all about adapting to the moment. (although it definitely helps to get your clarinet at least in the ballpark with the tuner, first)

Experimenting on your own with a tuner, like Paul suggested, is a good way to learn how to stay in tune after you've already "tuned the instrument." It's also a good way to learn which notes on your instrument have a tendency to go flat or sharp, because on clarinet every note has slightly different tuning characteristics. This can help you develop your ability to fix your own tuning problems as you play.
