Intonation Question

Author: CarlT

When going from 4th line D up to 4th space E, and without changing my embouchure one bit, I get a drop of 10 to 12 cents. I have done this many times to make sure that I am changing nothing about my emb.

Is this normal for most clarinets, or do the pro clarinets mostly have better intonation between these 2 notes?

I can make the E play in tune by "lipping up" as you all say (or as some might say, ever-so-slightly biting...perish the thought).
