R 13 (1974) ~ barrel length, throat tones, mouthpieces

Issues I am seeking to resolve: 1. Sharp throat tones: open G and A 2. Slightly flat lower register, and 3. Upper register always in tune........what gives? I play on a VD B45 mouthpiece, it seems okay. I have a Mitchell lurie M4 (also from the 70's), which I haven't used for a few years now - and a 67mm barrel. I have used covered fingerings for G, it helps, but not enough.
Is anyone aware of a "mechanical" problem that might cause any of these issues? Suggestions on anything I have mentioned happily considered. Would also appreciate your opinion on the Selmer C95 130 and M13 Lyre mouthpieces. I've been playing for 30 years, and play in a civic orchestra - but am by no means a clarinet expert. Thanks!
