Well, you need to know also what pitch the vibraphone is tuned to.

The B45 Lyre doesn't come in a Series 13 version, so that's not an issue.

Yes. You can make each of the throat notes sharper by undercutting - enlarging the inside (at the bore) of specific tone holes. You can flatten them by putting tape or some other material around the inside top of specific tone holes. The holes you would modify in these ways would depend on what notes you're trying to change - the one you would work on to raise F#, for example, would also affect the other notes, so it needs to be done carefully from the lowest note you want to change. The reason you can do this is that the twelfths for these notes (above thumb F4/C6) are not normally used fingerings.
