Well, the sharper (I don't want to say there is a pitch designation for a mouthpiece.....there is NOT) mouthpiece will help bring the short tube notes back in line. There is a chance that you are using your embouchure (or dare I say that you are biting) mostly to 'come UP to pitch.' This is an "easy out" as far as tuning goes because quite frankly it is "easy" and we hear flat easier than sharp.
I recommend going the sharper mouthpiece route and also getting used to having pitch be more in the "center" of your embouchure control. This allows much greater flexibility to the control of your playing and is well worth the effort.
Oh, and on Buffets (actually many Boehm horns) the first space "F" can ride low particularly when playing rather loud. To offset this effect you can engage the lowest sidekey.
