Vintage A Clarinet

Hello all,

I recently inherited an overhauled Buffet A with some tuning issues. The model number is in the 38000s, so it is quite old. It still plays with a good tone and everything from a B middle of the staff and above plays in tune. When I get to the throat tones it gets a little sharp, but I can lip it down. As I get towards a C and down to the E, it is almost a quarter step sharp.

Is there anything I can do to bring pitch down that much or is the instrument a lost cause?

Thanks for any help,
