First be find out if you are about the same amount flat on an open pitch like second line G and a closed pitch like third line C. Try several notes at the top of the Clarinet (open fingerings) and several at the bottom closed fingerings). If the top, open notes are noticeably flatter than the bottom, closed notes, you could benefit from a shorter tuning barrel.
If that's not the case, and it probably isn't, then you probably have some work to to do on your embouchure, especially if you haven't been playing long. Building strength in your embouchure will raise your pitch a bit.
One final possibility - only if you are a solid, experienced player - is to try some different mouthpieces.

Is the clarinet fun?
Well... I is different for every pear of eyes! To me the clarinet is a very fun instrument. But to some it is horrible xxbunnylover23xx: I played the clarinet for a whole year and I in the beginning did not like it but it became more easy and I started to like it. Its really fun. But the bad thing is that you have to keep on licking the wreath until its wet and then you can make a really nice sound. But now I don't play it anymore because I'm in 7th grade and at my school they stop giving band lessons at that grade.

How are saxophones and clarinets related?
The clarinet is a million times easier than the saxophone in every aspect. First because clarinet is just like piano where the notes are very easy. But on saxophone there are extra flats and sharps, you have to study things that you don't have to on clarinet, you need more air for saxophone, and the saxophone is very heavy! On clarinet you learn how to play all the notes in less than a month. If you play saxophone you learn the notes in more than 5 months! The saxophone is a lot harder! If you play saxophone, you need to layer your fingering more precisely too. Also they are tuned differently too. So if you play in a concert, the notes you play will be very confusing on the saxophone. Also the clarinet is very light. So it will be very easy to play clarinet than saxophone. So for my opinion clarinet is easier. People out there who think sax is easier, you are wrong. Clarinet is a million times easier than the saxophone in every aspect. Also for saxophone you need more air for blowing. You get tired more easily too. I admit clarinet squeaks a lot. But once you get used to it, you will stop squeaking. People out there who think sax is easier, you are wrong. Clarinet is much easier than the saxophone. Also for saxophone you need more air for blowing. You get tired more easily too. I admit clarinet squeaks a lot. But once you get used to it, you will stop squeaking. I play clarinet and saxophone and I can't keep up with saxophone. So please when you consider on choosing your instrument between clarinet and saxophone, choose clarinet.
