Not sure if you were asking me, Tony, but what I meant was that maybe there is something new happening mechanically that's causing the grunting in the clarion G, A, and B. A quick look-see by a tech could rule out something having gone out of whack in the upper joint.
(Edited on 10/25/21 to add that I discovered that on my new clarinet my clarion A especially can grunt when the pad in the upper joint between the top two tone holes isn't fully closing. [Apologies for not knowing the name of this pad!] The only reason I mentioned considering a tune-up is that I've discovered in my limited experience that when things go out of adjustment, new problems can arise. I would, of course, defer to the more seasoned players on this board.
For Tony specifically, the North American expression "out of whack" in this iteration means "out of proper order or shape"; see Merriam-Webster definition here, at bottom of page: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/out%20of%20whack )
If your question wasn't directed to me, carry on.
