sinkdraiN -

What clarinet have you got? (and where'd the second barrel come from?)

Not all clarinets are built to exactly the same tuning. A=440Hz and A=442Hz, for example. Play those together and you're looking at a very nasty clash. They're about a tenth of a semitone apart (by my maths).

Mouthpiece, reed and technique all affect the centre frequency of the instrument - but I keep returning to your point that your teacher observed the same flatness, so I'm tempted to discount them.
