Length of speaker tube

Following Mark’s comment about the slowdown in topics, I thought I would ask what may be a basic question:

I have an old A clarinet with a somewhat resistant and buzzy B over the break. It also happens to be a bit flat, (and the corresponding chalumeau E is flat as well). There’s nothing wrong with the pads and tone hole rims down there, and there’s no obstruction in the speaker tube. The throat B flat (using speaker hole) sounds clear enough and tunes quite well. But to my eyes the speaker tube protrudes into the bore further than usual. I haven’t done any actual measurements, so it’s just an impression.

Would the length of protrusion make a difference to the B at the bottom of the instrument?
