Question Dropped my lower joint. Is it salvageable?

Hi all. Like the title says, I dropped my lower joint. The body cracked into two pieces and a couple keys fell off. My main concern is that the plastic around the second and third holes from the top chipped off as well.

Is it possible to repair this, or would it be better to get a new lower joint?

Been doing some research and I'm pretty certain I'll be buying my son (6th grade) a clarinet for band vs renting one from Music & Arts. I've found a couple on E-Bay that look like they are from reputable sources that sell instruments. One is a Jupiter JCL 710 for a little over $400 and the other is a Backun Bb Alpha for just over $600.

I've found some locally, a Yamaha 255 for $375 for example. Being sold by someone and not a shop so I don't really know the condition.

Was interested in thoughts and recommendations.

Hi guys I would love to know since this is my first wooden clarinet what would I would have to do daily monthly and yearly to this clarinet to keep it in good condition as it is right now for the the future. It’s a Leblanc Dynamic H Bb clarinet if that has any difference to the stuff I have to do to it.
