RE: horn blowing sharp

Are you sharp on almost every note? If so, I'd just pull out the barrel a little. ...but not too much becuase you can ruin the intonation in the throat tones. I would tune to at least an open G and the B natural above it after pulling out the barrel a little.

Some clarinets are naturally sharp in the very lowest register. I've always been told to really provide a lot of support from the abdomen when playing in the lowest register to get those notes in tune.

I've never heard of altering the tongue postition to correct that problem.

I've never heard of changing the position of your tongue to change the intonation.
