There are re-voicing techniques that can be done be competent repair people who offer that sort of service. That can involve some retooling of tone holes and/or the bore.

I would say though that your questions are best put to your dealer and the manufacturer of your horn. They did come through on the crack. They may be willing to aid with the intonation issues. The thing about this though is that you should be prepared to be specific with THEM about what notes are not right and what expectations you might have. Clarinets are variable in intonation and though you did not pick (and could not have picked) the replacement joint, the counter argument could be that the variability of intonation is "correctable" through normal playing practice (even if not the sort of correction that you yourself are not the most comfortable with).

Still, I would ask them. So far they have come through.
