Upper Register G is almost 30 cents sharp

I just got a hold of a Libertas and I'm super happy with it. It is a completely different horn from the Noblissima. Keys feel snappy and high quality, and it's just a much more responsive and open instrument. Cant really describe it but whenever I play a note, it just lots on plays it perfectly. I'm really happy with the instrument

I know that Tom's clarinets are famous for their consistency and tuning. I don't know if anyone else has this problem but my Upper Register G is almost 30 cents sharp. Lower register is fine. upper register C (123,123 + pinky) is also great. As I go up, it gets steadily sharper but once I go to the thumb + octave F, it's fine. My upper register G is just very sharp. Has anyone had this problem before? Should I just play the instrument for a little longer and let it "settle in", or is it just a clumsy fix that I totally ignored?
