Sharp throat tones

As I'm getting used to my new Eb Clarinet (old 1930s-ish Guy Humphrey stencil horn) I'm really enjoying it. But the one issue I have with it is that the throat tones are VERY sharp. We're talking nearly a quarter tone. I can lip them down into some semblance of pitch. But is there anything that might correct this further? The barrel is tiny (38mm) but how much would a longer barrel throw off the rest of the horn?

My Bb clarinet was set up a zillion years ago by someone more in the know than me and so I don't know how such things affect the instrument outside of "longer barrel = lower tone."
