How far can everybody reach... just curious.

9th if i really stretch a 10th

I can reach C to the next E (ie octave and 2 notes more(white keys of course))

oh, i dunno, about arms length?

sorry guys, i`m not a pianist

With humor like that i wuldn`t be surprised if u where a violist.... OK that was been rude

I can hit 9 consistently, but it takes me a second to get 10. But I could never do 10 in an actual piece at a reasonable speed.

P.S. Don`t worry, 606...when somebody makes an idiotic comment about how they`re not a pianist in this forum, you can`t be rude enough to them.

I can only just about reach a 9th, a 10th on a good day.
But my sister`s friend can apparently reach a 12th? From middle C, an octave up to the G... if you get what I mean...

I`m 13 and I can reach a 9th pretty easily and I can stretch to a 10th. But my hands are still growing so I figure I might be up to a 11th or 12th in a few years

i`m 16 and i can only reach an octave ...small hands here. its not even physically possible for me to play pieces i would otherwise be capable of playing at my level sometimes =\

heh I`m 16 too, but I can stretch an octave and 2 keys... C-E.

I can do 1o keys... 1o keys is actually pretty common. Anything more than that I`ll have to split it.

im also 10, can stretch to 11

I can reach all the 11ths, a twelfth is really pushing it, but I can do it.

Good lord, I always thought I had big hands...
I can reach an octave with my left hand, and 9 with my right.

Initially I could only comfortably reach the 9th, however when I did piano studies at the conservatorium of Music, my lecturer said "Don`t worry the sinuin tissue betweeen the thumb and index finger will stretch" so I would regularly stretch that tissue and now can comfortably play walking tenths with the left hand.

So regular stretching of the tissue will improve anyone.

By the way I can reach an 11th but many people can, however can use it comfortably.
