As you say, impossible to advise without trying it. How old is it?
My advise is usually to go with the new student model since they are very good these days and not much more expensive than decades ago when I was teaching. Plus, you now have 2 clarinets -- one as a spare if you replace the pads.
You could replace the pads later and maybe an overhaul (if it's worth it), give it a blow--have a professional try it and get an opinion.
The new student model is fine unless your son decides to make music (performing) a career or very serious hobby.
I have practiced on excellent student Yamaha clarinets and my current one, a Selmer.
