Buffet R-13 Problem with clarion C (C5)

Hello, I am new to the forum and I have a couple of questions for the more seasoned clarinetists on here. I recently purchased a Buffet Crampon R-13 from Muncy Winds with the help of Rodney Berry to find the horn that is right for me. My current setup is a Vandoren M30 lyre mouthpiece, Standard barrel and bell, and a BG super revelation ligature. I use Vandoren V-12 reeds strength 3 1/2 (I work on them lightly flattening the table and stuff like that). I am having a problem I just recently noticed. When I play my C (the one on the middle of the staff) I get a high pitched tone behind the actual pitch. It is very faint but apparent enough for any seasoned musician to be able to tell it is wrong. The C speaks very clearly but there is a higher pitch behind it. I am not quite sure if this is the definition of an overtone but in context it would make sense. Does anyone know about this problem and if so how to fix it. Thank you.
