As David mentioned, replacing a tendon cork is fairly easy. To do so you will
need either a sheet of 1/16" cork or synthetic tendon wrapping material that is
sold by Valentino. You will also need some contact cement.

If you are new to the clarinet, there are possibly other things that could use
some attention, things that you might not be able to detect. This is
particularly true when buying into something used. Yes, you could (maybe) save
a few bucks, but could then end up struggling on an instrument that needs more
skilled and exacting attention than what you could administer, diagnose or even
be aware of. I strongly suggest you take it to a qualified repairman and have
him give it the attention needed for your own well being and progress.
