Do you have a very long bocal? My 2 bocals are less than a semitone different, but definitely makes a difference and I choose the bocal depending on which reed I use. You went to the very famous shop, do they have bocals for rent (or on a trial basis)?

I'm no expert, but personally, if I was experimenting, I'd scrape the tip down a bit lower and clip, and if it is too open after that use reed wire to adjust the opening. Make sure there aren't any leaks in the reed or where the reed attaches to the bocal. And since there seems to be a bit of leeway in how you hold the instrument, that affects a bit the pitch, whether you hold it farther out or closer. Enough breath support too, so it doesn't sag.
