Some clarinets are more prone to 'ghost notes' in the upper part of the upper register, most likely something to do with the diameter of the speaker tube - if it's too wide, it can cause the lower register note to be heard faintly.
My teacher pointed this out to me on my old Selmer Bb which had a pretty wide diameter speaker tube (it was the two-piece one with large domed outer cup and central push-fit speaker tube). I filled the speaker tube in with soft solder and redrilled it to a narrower diameter than it was which helped.
