God damn!! Did you see some of the blocks he used??? Rachmaninov had to have huge hands. That is exactly how I feel when I am playing guitar. Some of those guys would stretch from the 5th fret to the 12th fret, and here I am with my stubby fingers. Damn you Dave Mustaine!!!!!

I've got big hands. From the tip of my thumb to the tip of my pinky, full stretched out, is 10 inches exactly.

Pat Methany's (Piano player extrodinare) is one foot.

Apparently Paganini the famous violinist had a thumb-to-pinky span of 16+ inches...he could reach from one end of the violin fingerboard to the other without moving his hand.
