Flat low E and F should never be grounds for rejection of a clarinet, as that characteristic can almost always be mitigated or even eliminated by the judicious drilling of a vent hole in the bell (which also lowers the 'long' low clarion B and C, but by a much lesser amount).

Boosey & Hawkes clarinets have that characteristic as well. I overhaul lots of them and they nearly always leave here with a shiny new hole in their bell.
