Check with all your local instrument repair shops. They usually have this
adaptor (metal barrel) lying around in the "junk" box. They might even give
it to you, especially if your metal clarinet is a "double walled" model.

Hi,
Metal clarinets used the same mouthpiece as wooden or plastic clarinets.
You are missing a part that receives the mouthpiece and fits into the top.
I bought a mouthpiece about a year ago on ebay and the adapter from a metal
clarinet was attached to the mouthpiece. It had a cork on one end of the
adapter so it could fit into a metal clarinet. I threw it out. That's the
part you need. I don't think the the adapter was a standard size on the end
that went into the top of the clarinet, but if you could find one it could
probably be adapted to fit your clarinet. The end that the mouthpiece fits
into is a standard size that any clarinet mouthpiece would fit. Since metal
clarinets are not made anymore, you might have to buy another metal clarinet
that has an adapter attached. Good luck.
