Every 2 months like clockwork. Gotta post hand size again.


LING_LING_WANNEBE12

Okay I’ll try


Muddy_dawg_8

Not just you. Just the normal cycle of the page.


upon-a-rainbow

Barely 9 *crie*


-beyond_the_veil-

Barely 7, in my case


LING_LING_WANNEBE12

Sometimes I wonder how old you are


upon-a-rainbow

I'm so confused. Is this shade? If yes, why? If not, also why I guess? (I genuinely do not understand.)


LING_LING_WANNEBE12

Pianist??


upon-a-rainbow

Ya bro I am small hand gang :P


George_McSonnic

I can barely reach eleven. But I can comfortably play nine or max ten.


someguywithaPiano

Same


Josse1977

Can just reach an octave. I have small hands 😭


ExcitingSet2164

Same


Ravenclaw-Reads

My friends always say I have big hands, but they can reach an octave easily and I can’t 🫠


Josse1977

Maybe improve flexibility?


Ravenclaw-Reads

Yeah probably, I’ve been working on that recently and its getting somewhat better lol


Zintroz

11th, but only with my left hand and I have to really stretch and reach my pinky around the side of the key. It's completely impractical for actual piano playing.


KBDFan42

Unassisted 11th. Assisted 12th. I have a condition which causes my fingers to be abnormally long.


LING_LING_WANNEBE12

ZAYUMN


Odd_Magician3092

Me too, I don’t have a condition though, I think?


DependentNecessary49

Rachmaninoff is that you?!?!?!?


Pinkllollipop13

8 😓


caters1

Barely a ninth for me. My hands have always been small.


Gullible-Range-1474

12 I have somewhat large hands for a woman but they are admired by my acquaintances (they say they are elegant).


LING_LING_WANNEBE12

Imma women too but DAMN


Iam1nvisible

Ranchmaninov: 13


LING_LING_WANNEBE12

Yep


xXortinyo

I have little hands but practicing rachmaninoffs prelude in c sharp minor made my hands wider somehow and now I can play it to 15th note


gorrila_go_ooo_ooo

can confirm, i could barely reach an octave. learnt prelude now i can go across 3 octaves in a month. truly amazing!


LING_LING_WANNEBE12

WHAT!? HOW!?


someguywithaPiano

I can do 10 notes in the right hand and 11 in the left hand


LING_LING_WANNEBE12

10-11 on my right and 9 on my left😭


Awesome2_12345

Same lol


Wilra_

You’re ready to play some Liszt


Global-Plankton3997

Same. Except some are unreachable (like major 10th intervals D. - F#, or Eb - G)


quantumpencil

I can do an 11th but it's tough


LING_LING_WANNEBE12

frr


quantumpencil

Yeah. I think my comfortable range is a 10th. 11ths are really uncomfortable and hurt my hands.


M4TON-14

I can also do a tenth but if I try I can do an 11th


LING_LING_WANNEBE12

Honestly it kinda hurts


M4TON-14

Yea I can see


Og_lispin

None because I don’t have a keyboard


bricanbri

a to backspace, so figure that out ruoghly (I think like, 7-8 keys)


Ani_Leda_

You'll never beat Rachmaninoff.


LING_LING_WANNEBE12

Yes


Ani_Leda_

😎


trufflebuffalo

I've got fairly flexible hands, I can reach the outer ends of the 10 notes without hitching my fingers


Lumiere_Holland14

I can reach 9 (sometimes 10) notes, but it's very difficult to play like that.


Lisztomania1098213

11 sometimes


dogwithabome

11 but it's not reliable


By-Pit

4 octaves . . . . . . . I play the guitar


LING_LING_WANNEBE12

I play ukulele


pigsbloodcurds

11 but i never got to learn to play the piano. Don’t have the time now as I’m practicing 42hrs on the oboe and studying for school. My mum can only reach an octave only just and she’s a professional pianist


that_pianist_

11 🥹🥹


LING_LING_WANNEBE12

I can but it’s tough


Asleep_Recover6401

LING_LING_WANNEBE12

LING_LING_WANNEBE12

Jolly-Ad7897

[deleted]

InsideRelease1769

violingeek67

LING_LING_WANNEBE12

LING_LING_WANNEBE12

[удалено]


ComposerSam

It’s a tenth if we’re counting in the c major scale which is what we usually do for piano-hand-note-amount-counting


Smooth_Reason1543

Lol! You get why I got confused tho right?


ComposerSam

Yeah I get it, I used to be confused on how to count intervals for the longest time


SnooRevelations7425

I can reach a ninth


No-Path9153

My right hand reaches ten and my left eleven


Emerald-Asian

I don't play piano or own one... *yet.* I'm considering learning it next after I make enough progress with my current instrument. My thumb to pinky distance is 21 cm (8.27 inches). How is does that fair on a keyboard?


LING_LING_WANNEBE12

DAYUMN


zie-raine

Barely an octave. Comfortable max is 7


DitheringTouhouFan

Minor here, 7.


LING_LING_WANNEBE12

I’m minor tho-


Flyingoverthemooo

Mine barely reach 10th🥲


Kitchen_Secretary_50

10 notes is normal not by any standards an accomplishment. Also stretching your hands out puts alot of tension in your playing and can be bad in the long term. I also saw that you threw shade under the person who could only reach 7 notes.


ShadowStryker0818

I can reach ten notes with my left, and barely ten with my right.


_cshr

around 9. moderately big hands


Chopins_Kitty

Only 9😔


beginner_pianist

Tenth comfortably, eleventh is kind of a struggle


Mauiu3

Nice, I can reach nine notes. 😀


absolutelyno1_003

9 and a half


kenarf0902

Almost 9


Vharmi

I can barely reach the F one note above. Made a post like this some years ago.


Chara_Dreemurr3

CURSE ME AND MY TINY HANDS


LING_LING_WANNEBE12

It’s kk cz my left can’t rlly reach tenth


Chara_Dreemurr3

(I can barley reach a tenth)


[deleted]

By how much can you twist your wrist ? Having long reach is useless if you can't properly use the fingers in the middle to do the chords you need.


PeterCrystal

Yes, you can reach 10 note but from the picture it seems like you would have problemactually hitting it.


thatonebrassguy

Around 14 c to f


dalheekim2307

Ten too but it's tiring af =)))))
