I saw you posted on the clarinet boards. A good move, cause they are frequented constantly, and the a some highly knowledgeable people there.
Some things I see in the situation (and I'm a woodwind doubler, not a full time clarinetist):
1. The Buffett bc20 seems to be an older model Buffett, but I do believe it's a pro model. It could be the instrument needs some adjusting, so maybe that's something to look into. Also, the bore maybe have warped over time depending on how it's been taken care of.
2. I play on a mouthpiece similiar to the 5RV, so I'm coming from a completely different side of the mouthpiece realm. You're playing on a very open mouthpiece with a longer facing, and I find that the utmost control of your embouchure is necessary on setups of this nature. Be sure you are voicing all your notes (thinking of the note before/while you're playing it). Continue to play long tones and tonguing exercises, slowly at first, then get faster. If things don't get better in a month or so, it may be worth taking a look at some different equipment.
