Contact any of the custom barrel makers in the ads to the right side of this page. Dr. Allan Segal, a sponsor of this board,makes beautiful barrels. So does Morrie Backun.

+++Be sure you get the correct bore size.
The B and H is typically wider.+++
Beware: Generic retailers know xlr cables and Cubase SE better than they know clarinet bores. You need to specify what instrument it is for.
Since you are looking at one from Morrie, perhaps you should call him and tell him what you need it for.
Just out of curiosity, why do you need a need one? Is yours broken, too long, too short, or whatever?
Disclosure. I make and sell barrels. ( and I do know something about xlr cables and Cubase)

For the 926 you need a barrel with a bore that is 15.05mm diameter and parallel for its whole length.
For the record any barrel from a B&H Emperor or Edgware model will have these same dimension.
I am not aware on any other make of clarinet that has similar bore size/shape.
However many makes of clarinet barrel are smaller diameter bores and so could be reamed out parallel and to size by a really competent technician.
The top socket size is pretty much standard across most clarinets of past 40+ years but worth checking the larger socket for correct fit to 926 tenon.

I just measured a bakelite Regent barrel and a wooden Edgware barrel - the mouthpiece (upper) socket is 18mm deep by 22.5mm diameter and the lower socket is 19.5mm deep by 23.7mm diameter.
The standard barrel length is 67mm and when up to temperature the clarinet will be in tune with itself when pulled out by 1-2mm.
