573570 is from around 1984 which is fairly late in their production as they ceased making clarinets not long after that. The undersides of the LH levers on one this recent should have elongated hollows (rectangular with rounded ends) on them.

If you're using a barrel shorter than the stock 67mm barrel (barrels marked 'SHORT' are 62mm), then they will play sharp and especially sharp in the throat notes. You're best using a 67mm barrel and also pulling it out between 1mm to 2mm to put it in tune with itself.
