What's your clarinet shortcoming(s)?

Mine's occasional voicing problems with full fingered lower clarion notes. D#5 is my nemesis.

Also, my left thumb can be nasty about not reaching closer to the ground when arriving at chalumeau register notes.

In my head I'm actually telling my left thumb to slide down a bit so that it lands where it is suppose to.

I've played for 40 years and have covered most of the etude and solo catalog: okay not the Nielsen, and by no means am I ready, or will I ever be to solo with a professional orchestra; and yes, said in 12 step program fashion, " I am SecondTry and I have clarinet shortcomings."

What's your areas that could stand to be improved? Pitch, tongue speed, intervals, sight reading....

clearly there's no shortage of areas in which all of us can improve. I'm just curious to find if there is some pattern to it.
