Tune clarinet F sharp 1

Hi,
I got a prodige ABS clarinet quite cheaply, it plays quite well but it has one problem - the f sharp 1 tone is terribly low - a whole 49 cents. It sounds more like F than F sharp. After testing, I found out that the problem is apparently in the thumb tube - the tube is very wide, so I thought of trying to put a narrower tube there (which would widen the thumb hole) to increase the f sharp. But I don't know if it won't also affect the note g 1. Does anyone have experience with the effect that increasing/expanding the thumb stick would have on other notes?
