low throat tones sharp F

I play on a Leblanc L300 which is wonderfully in tune across the column with 2 glaring exceptions. The throat A and Bb drop about 20 cts in comparison with the rest of the instrument. The holes are clean and the pads are seated and in good shape. I can put my lh 2cd and 3rd fingers down and lip up (which is 2cd nature to me now) and get them in tune, and I mean dead center A= 440 in tune, but the rest of my section plays these notes rather high. The other issue is that my high F is 20cts sharp I can half hole that and lip down but the tiniest miscalculation or slip is a disaster. Is there anything else I can try or is this a tech issue(is there even anyting a technician can do)? As Ive said the situation is workable I'm just looking to work less. (Laziness is the mother of invention)
