Hy!
I'm searching for a barrel for my H.N White metal clarinet.

Please contact me if you have one of this barrels, the condition doesn't really matter.
Best regards from Austria,
Bernhard

Bernhard,
Is this for an HN White Cleveland model? It looks exactly the same as the barrel on my Cleveland. I don't have a spare but I have listed the dimensions of my barrel below in the hopes that someone might have a spare barrel that could work for your instrument.
Barrel Length: 2.67" / 67.8mm
Tenon Length: 0.98" / 24.9mm
Bore Diameter: 0.591" / 15.0mm
Tenon OD: 0.669" / 17.0mm

Hi!
Thank you for your reply.
It's a "The Gladiator" model, but i think the barrel is pretty the same.

A suggestion when buying metal clarinets in the places where they often turn up (yard sales, junktiques stores, flea markets): If the barrel is missing from the case, go through the dealer's tools for sale. In fact, it's not a bad idea for clarinet players interested in old metal clarinets to check through miscellaneous tools whether or not there's a clarinet for sale.
Twice now, I've found metal clarinet barrels mixed in with tools. One of those times there was no clarinet for sale but it turned out a friend could use the barrel. The other time, I bought a clarinet from a dealer who'd cleaned up the case and taken a bunch of junk out of it. One of the pieces of "junk" he'd removed was the barrel. The dealer had mistaken it for a socket for a socket wrench and had tossed it on his "$1" each table with the assorted screwdrivers and pliers and such. Another piece of "junk" I retrieved from that table was the clarinet's original, branded 2-screw ligature, which the dealer mistook for a hose clamp.

Bernhard,
Here are the dimensions you requested:
A = 67.8mm
B = 16.8mm
C = 24.9mm
D = 20.6mm
E = 28.4mm
F = 22.5mm
G = 26.5mm
H = 19.1mm
I = 16.8mm
J = 15.0mm
I'll add a disclaimer that I don't know if the Gladiator barrel has the same dimensions as the Cleveland barrel I measured these from. Superficially they look the same although the Gladiator barrel has two knurled bands around the mouthpiece cup.

My personal collection; which includes all the H.N. White models(except the Silver King), and most of the Ohio Band Inst. Co, (also in Cleveland) leads me to believe that the 'Gladiator' model uses the OBICo. standard neck with the two knurled rings around the mouthpiece socket. These OBICo. models can be aquired fairly cheaply on the auction site, look for names like "Regent", "Easy Play", "Wm. Lewis & Son"," Odell Vega", "Pitt American", "Favorite", "Grenadier", "Sherwood Deluxe", and "All-American".
Also, the H.N. White American Standard, and Cleveland share identical (or near identical) necks. The Silver King model is the only H.N. White model with its own neck, as far as I can tell.

Some of the Cleveland models had double walled barrels similar to (but longer than) the Silver King barrels.

Would those be on the Cleveland's with the double-walled bell?
