I'm sorry, I was wrong. If voices well, it's just really sharp.

When I use the key for a better sounding throat Bb it's also sharp but I can bring it down a bit by covering holes with the left hand. Similar fingerings for bringing down the A4 produced this way (while fingering the G#4) don't seem to bring down the pitch.
