what do you mean by demonically high octave? like..everything past High C(above the staff)? if so you need to have a really well formed embouchure. you need to have great breath support. and you NEED to be pushing from your diaphragm. also you need to open your throat up and your mouth needs to be far enough on the reed, otherwise you will just close the reed off and nothing will come out. but really you should be doing all of this anyway..so if you're supposedly "good" clarinet players i don't see why you should be having troubles

The highest I ever had to play was the f above the staff and it was hard yet the more i practiced what i needed to do (like pezhi suggested) the better/ easier the note came out.

Thunderbolt J Sometimes it's hard to get those notes out in the high octaves. stressed most likely because you're not giving your reed enough room to vibrate >_> bad embouchure sucks

Pezhi: Occasionally, it is the instrument. Not the age of the instrument really, but the instrument could break. My instrument occasionally messes up on me, especially when there is a screw loose somewhere or something isn't on right.
My comment to the age thing is that my mom's 60 year old clarinet could get high notes quite easily for the condition it was in.(Until it stopped working completely. Wish I could afford the 2000 bucks to get it fixed...)
