tight key springs on new clarinet

Hi,

I'm in the process of buying a new clarinet, and I just wondered - would it be a reasonable thing to ask the technician to adjust the spring on the right hand pinkie C/F key so that I do not need to press so hard on it to get it to move? I currently have to press very hard, which is causing wrist trouble. (I think that's what the problem is anyway.)

On my old instrument I don't have to press very hard at all to make the keys move. But then again, playing the pinkie keys with the register key pressed often causes squeaks, or no sound at all, so maybe tighter would be better.

Thanks!
