I also have a full-Boehm Kohlert which I completely restored, and it was lacking a barrel, so I went through my coffee can full of barrels and found one that fit well and sounds fine, an older SML. I would guess that your instrument should work OK with most standard modern-type barrels. A good start might be one of the DEG aftermarket types, they seem to fit just about any clarinet (might need a thicker cork on some) and generally tune well. As for mouthpieces: regardless of the clarinet, a good mouthpiece is a good mouthpiece is a good mouthpiece.............
All that said, it's the clown with the reed in his mouth who will produce that 'dense, deep, dark, lush' sound. Wish I knew how............
