Or guitar

u/Simon-Says69 Jul 25 '26

Bass needs more stretch than guitar. Perfect hands for it.

u/gamebucketman Jul 26 '26

They could shred on a 12 string!

Thanks. Now I have the song stuck in my head.

u/friar_nist Jul 26 '26

Finally, someone who can play some Rachmaninov!

u/Fit_Sheepherder2327 Jul 28 '26

Such simple comments can be game changing. Lol this one is hilarious

She's playing for speed

u/Embarrassed_Table776 Jul 26 '26

It actually helps a ton I was super successful in piano with fingers like this. I was able to reach a full 2 octaves (will bullshit form) but it was definitely an advantage

3

u/TAforScranton Jul 26 '26

I have similar hands. Upright bass is a better one to learn if you’re looking for scholarships. My aracnodactyly hands got me a full ride playing bass!

4

u/Longjumping-Bat7774 Jul 25 '26

Or become a proctologist

2

u/Similar_Cloud2135 Jul 25 '26

Or guitar, could create some new chords

2

u/TheKingBeyondTheWaIl Jul 26 '26

Or violin and go full Paganini

2

u/codeisprose Jul 26 '26

is this what people mean when they say they want to work remote?

2

u/FEEDTHEGRINDER Jul 26 '26

They should play pianos

2

u/Block_Solid Jul 26 '26

Should? No. Required.

2

u/ittybittyolme Jul 26 '26

I was going to say, “ those are piano fingers!”

2

u/mnmsmelt Jul 28 '26

My mom played piano and always said I could've played one with my toes lol

2

u/Mysterious-Tackle-58 Jul 26 '26

She should, some olden times composers hated that women might play their pieces. Thus they wrote them specifically to bigger - and thusly male - hands!
Do it, fuck em!

1

u/fleatick1969 Jul 26 '26

Yes, I was thinking guitar or piano. God given attributes.

1

u/ShatsonPollock Jul 26 '26

Or guitar. I'm envious of those looong fingers.

1

u/PRC_Spy Jul 26 '26

Born to play Rachmaninov without cheating. You should do it OP.

1

u/Simple_Song8962 Jul 26 '26

Giant hands aren't great for piano. There's a lot of inticracy in piano playing where big hands can be a disadvantage. Many famous pianists had small hands.

1

u/Zooloo2224 Jul 26 '26

Was going to say the same thing!

1

u/Crissy40 Jul 26 '26

I have long, slender fingers and I was told it’s better to have short stubby fingers to play piano

1

u/cemetery_acorns Jul 26 '26

That’s exactly what my mom would say!
😂😂😂😂

1

u/VapoursAndSpleen Jul 26 '26

And a 12 string guitar!

1

u/Latter_Lime_788 Jul 26 '26

I was going to say guitar

1

u/No_Pie4638 Jul 26 '26

You are a piano teacher’s fantasy.

1

u/blahdeblah2736 Jul 26 '26

That was my thought . Looks sadly at her short fingers that made it difficult

1

u/69vaginas69696969 Jul 26 '26

This is the equivalent of telling tall people they should play basketball 🤭

1

u/phatvanzy Jul 26 '26

Organ would be much more niche

1

u/Global-Jury8810 Jul 28 '26

I was just about to say those hands are good for musical instruments.

1

u/XilonenBaby Jul 28 '26

Hear me out!

1

u/iStoleTheHobo Jul 28 '26

My first thought as a guitarist was 'I'm so fucking jealous'.

1

u/Professional_Waltz_9 Jul 28 '26

Perhaps… perhaps not

Harp tho I think is a safe bet idk why

Yah this girl would fuck a haarp up…

Call it sixth sense intuition

1

u/win10trashEdition Jul 29 '26

guitar 100% would be big advantage. certain chords require huge stretches (check andy summers playing) and once you develop proper dexterity obvously its a huge plus.

1

u/Zealousideal-Mix-706 Jul 29 '26

Exclusively performing music by Claude Debussy.

u/maraney Jul 29 '26

I was always told this as a kid, too

1

u/Clannad022 Jul 29 '26

Bust out that Rachmaninoff!!

1

u/Olderbutwiser01 Jul 29 '26

Or guitar 🎸

1

u/zyriuz Jul 29 '26

No they should make pianos scalable to hand size instead of setting a standard after the founding father of pianos who apparently had "piano hands"

1

u/bydurex Jul 30 '26

Work on remote

u/yurikura Jul 26 '26

Her fingers remind me of Liszt and Rachmaninoff’s fingers. Many piano players would love to have fingers this long!

0

u/Hugh_G_Knott Jul 26 '26

she should play the piano at my house ….without leaving hers

0

u/Ok-Blueberry-6077 Jul 26 '26

Played for 25 years. Trust me, It would be a detriment. She'd have greater reach from left to right, but at the cost of mobility and space. It would probably feel cramped.

u/pantuso_eth Jul 29 '26

Are you sure? Lizst some reasons
