Thank you to everyone that replied and I did take all of your advice and tried double lipping, yes, I was using my old tricks from playing on a selmer, but it really was not anything very drastic, loosened it up and still sharp. Next I took it back to the shop and let them look at the tube. It was fine. I was really banking on that after everything else failed. And lastly the barrels, I tried out a Moennig and Chadash, not much difference, I was still playing at least 1/4 to 1/2 pitch sharp even with the barrel pulled out and between the top and lower joint.
So with that known I will admit now that the Buffet is not for me. I have played on Selmers for 17 years and they are comfortable to me like an old shoe. I was sucked in by the Buffet mafia when I was in the market for a new clarinet and there were no Selmers in stock at the store. Nor was I going to lay down the cash for a R13. So now I will go back to the ever so trusty Selmer Soloist
