Any ID on this barrel Manasse is using? Looks like the barrel rings are sort of yellow/gold ish. For reference the screenshot is from the All-Star orchestra's recording of Firebird suite.

Ah gotcha. It's a shame there aren't any of those for sale individually.

I am pretty sure Buffet sells separate barrels for all their clarinets.

Just checked Howarth - they seem to have every Buffet barrel, except for the one above.

Order from directly from Buffet through a dealer willing to deal with Buffet in Jacksonville (or your local International distributer).

Disregarding its availability, I am pretty sure this is not the barrel from the Legende. The video in question is from 2012, long before the Legende's release in 2017. To me this just looks like a slightly tarnished R-13 or Tosca barrel. The video is in 720p so its a little difficult to determine which one. (Can't really make out the ring grooves properly.)
Edit: It could also be a Moennig, Chadash, etc. There is no real way of knowing other than asking Manasse himself.
In any case, if you are in search of equipment and you really want a fantastic barrel, see if you can find someone who will sit down and hand ream you one for your specific clarinet and mouthpiece. This may not be possible during these Covid times, but after having experienced a truly custom made barrel, most people have no interest in going back to the mass produced options.
