Is the entire range of the instrument in "B"?

If not, which fingerings did you use to check the pitch? (The reason that I'm asking is: the C5/B5 notes are frequently a quarter tone off in that era's Albert systems. At least the ones I own.)

For that reason, I usually check the key of the instrument using the standard C4 fingering.

MichaelW submitted a chart in this older post showing a consistency of flatness among three Albert system clarinet when the full length of the clarinet is played: http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=446058&t=446056

I don't know if any of this applies to your current question, but thought I'd throw it out there - just in case.
