I have small hands and play the piano. American teachers told me I could never do it professionally because of their size. Then I hooked up with Korean pianists and they scoffed and ridiculed that idea. “No, you can't play Rachmaninoff,” they shouted, “but you CAN play Mozart!”

LOL, my late husband who taught himself at 7 to play piano had small hands for a man. Then in his teens he taught himself guitar, had to find one with a small neck. As an adult he played a Peavy narrow neck guitar, and a Korg full size keyboard.

While hand size might make it easier to play, small hands don’t stop any one from doing so. A 10 yr old on the Voice, a genius, ready to start college, played the piano and sang very well this year.

My great granddaughter started taking piano lessons at 10, so you know her hands were small.

I found a CCW piece that fits my small hands. You just have to want it.
