Re: Tuning 3rd mode?

Unusual to have several horns with the same problem. Are you sure it's not embouchure/voicing or mouthpiece problem.
F# is typically flat with 'normal' fingering but the long and overblown side Bb fingerings are usualy pretty good.
There are many fingerings for G are they all flat?
I find that the older Leblancs, LL etc are usually very good in altissimo whereas Buffets struggle more up there.
If 1st and 2nd registers are good then any changes you make are likely to degrade those.
Try alternate fingerings and different mouthpiece first.
