Lower Register VERY SHARP.. Help?!

Author: nisharae18

So I have purchased an E11 clarinet, it came with a 5RV mouthpiece and a rovner ligature which I was quite excited about I've played it continuously/ hours a day for about a month now and had been using a tuner on my phone -which I wasn't too sure I should trust as something always just sounded "off" about my low notes. I finally purchased a tuner today and to my disgust but not surprise my lower register is EXTREMELY sharp. Low E is almost off the tuner sharp, as as I work my way up it slowly getS better, becoming on pitch at about throat tone E. Upper register is fine, other than infamous minor pitchiness that is resolved through practice/ embouchure etc.. So any help with this would be greatly appreciated.. I'm wondering if its the mouthpiece, as I'm used to playing on a B45 and im not crazy about the 5RV (looking into getting a BD5 in the near future) Thanks!
