Maybe try a few barrels, The M15 bore and windows are a bit weird. Some notes pop out fine and others are flat. A good mouthpiece designer could ream out the bore of the mouthpiece to it's correct taper.

The barrels can also be off causing this issue and may need to be replaced an rebored.

You can also try a thick blanked reed such as the Vandoren V12's to help support the upper notes.

Are all of the notes flat or just a few? Can you describe your mouth position, such as playing with a single or double lip and are you biting.
