+1 to being sure you have the right mouthpiece. I have a Bb and A pair. With the 62.5 mouthpiece, after short warmup, they will play in-tune at reasonable room temp (72 - 75 degrees F).

I do have a couple of 60.5 mm barrels that I had made; I use these only if it is cool (e.g. 62 - 65 degrees).

Never bothered with the 64.5.

I use a Behn MP; advertised as "high pitch". A series 13 Vandoren will play very flat.

If you still can't get it to play in tune after checking this, it's time to take it to a tech.
