intonation adjustment

I have two questions:

Firstly, a perfectly in tune clarinet is obviously impossible. But what is the acceptable variance on individual notes on a professional clarinet? Too many notes on my clarinets are so out of tune that it is difficult or impossible to correct them with embouchure and fingering adjustments . The instruments in question are a pair of Buffet RC Prestige, sn 185 xxx and 207 xxx. Standard buffet barells and Vandoren B40 mouthpiece.

Secondly, who would be the best person to send them to for accoustical optimisation? Location is not all that important; I play professionally in Africa so there is pretty much no expert help available locally so I am prepared to ship my instruments.

Many thanks for all the interesting information available on this forum!

James
