Totally agree with Donald, many many players use that open D, which is actually overblowing your throat tone G. When I've performed it and teach it I do that and suggest "voicing" it as high as you can for pitch. Believe me, unless that opened D is grossly flat, which it usually is not on an A clarinet, no one can tell the difference it goes so fast and the B is the home note so the ear concentrates on that note. It's the same thing as when you trill a note that can't possibly be done with a "normal" fingering. If it really sounds flat to you try keeping the side Bb-Eb key down for both the B and the D. Try it, you'll like it.
