The Fobes Debut shouldn't be an issue. More than likely it's a problem with your barrel length, reeds, and embouchure\voicing. Make sure that your voicing is high enough (say "knee" or "she") and that you aren't using reeds that are too soft, a strength 3 in vandoren or dadario blue box should be plenty adequate.

If your reeds are too soft and your voicing too low, it will drag your overall pitch down.

If you know anyone who is a clarinetist, have them try your instrument with their mouthpiece/reed setup to see if they are at pitch.
