    Okay here is the story: My mom and grandma told me our family comes from a strong line of pianists. Which i thought was awesome (sun), the epic thing is my hands are like 17-19cm (palm to middle finger) and 9 inches (pinky to thumb) i loved my hands since then. :3 i took up piano also :D Anybody have these unique hands too? ^__^

    Rachmaninoff had 12 inch handspan hands, your hands aren't actually unusual. I've had comments on my hands too, mostly about their flexibility and the fact that they are hypermobile in the first joint of all fingers and thumbs. But they do mention "piano fingers" because they are quite long and bony in proportion to usual hands.
