While it would be difficult to say why exactly someone plays flat, at one point I bought a clarinet that was very flat, across all registers.
Played with very nice tone, but was extremely flat which required cutting the barrel by 2.5mm to bring it up to 440Hz.

The consensus on this board was that the warped bore created the problem.

Another way to check would be to play someone else's instrument and check tuning- if still flat then it's the player.
