I have been playing for nine years, and my ability to get the higher notes had little to do with my reeds, mouthpiece, ligature, or clarinet. Four years ago I could not play above high E (note below yours), and then two years later I was working on getting the A, B, and C above that. I did, and can now successfully play them. My good clarinet is a Buffet E11, but I can also get up to the high C above your note on my bad clarinet, a Buffet B12, which is not in good condition. In my limited experience, getting the higher notes comes down to embouchure and air pressure. But ask the pros and teachers, they know more than I do.
