My teacher says hes got a pupil with the furthest reach hes ever seen - 15th!!
What is your reachI'm only getting from c to f (octave higher f ofcourse)not that specialnext...
i saw the survey, and i think it's bullshit!!, so many pianists with 12th? no way. 9th is usually the standart.. rachmaninov could "only" do with his extra large hands from c to g easily.
I play organ and piano and both my teachers can strech very far my organ teacher can strech to a f and he can play it comfortably ,i asked my teacher about this and she said the stronger u hands become the further u can strech cause the flesh/muscle between youre fingers gro smaller, my organ theachers thumb and pinky streches completly vericly in a straight line .there are exersises one can do do speed things up a pit and to make youre fingers stronger and by that i dont mean hanon orr stuff like that
i didn't say that because i can reach 9-10 easily no one can do over 12th.. having a 12th span is rare (rachmaninov was said to be the pianist with the largest hands), so 30% of the pianists here are with rachmaninov's hands?
