There are several things that could cause that E (E4 on the chart next to the title of this board) to play badly mostly having to do with the hole and its pad immediately below the LH index finger. The pad could be torn and obstructing the hole, the hole could have dirt in it, the hole could be undersized and need to be either enlarged slightly or undercut, or as Burt suggested, the bridge key could be out of adjustment and is keeping the pad too close to the hole. A good repair tech can adjust any of these problems in a few minutes.

Have someone else try the clarinet and find out how it feels to him or her.
