I wonder if there is some sort of premade gasket that would already fit an
Eb barrel.... If not gasket cutters should be available at hardware stores.
A person in the pipe fitting or boiler trades would probably have plenty of
cutters and some scrap gasket material lying around.

Try simple rubber plumbing washers. Just cut out a section, with a little
trial and error, you can come up with some good cost effective tuning rings.

I have done this on my bass clarinet using the big grey rubber gaskets that
plumbers use!
