Subj: Cracked clarinet

I recently purchased a Buffet R-13 for a student. Picked the one horn out of
a batch of ten. Since then, the clarinet developed a crack into the top side
key tone hole. The question is, do I advise the student to take the buffet
warrantee which is replacement of the top joint, or do I advise him/er to
have the crack repaired and keep the one instrument chosen out of the ten?
Any thoughts?
