Sometimes in posts we write that our hands are small or big or average, but while practicing the 2413 Fmaj7 chord and pondering about wide stretches for picking, it occurred to me that I actually don't know what the average hand size actually is!
According to this site, the average hand sizes are:
Length:
172 mm (6.77 inches) for females
189 mm (7.44 inches) for males
Width:
74 mm (2.91 inches) for females
84 mm (3.30 inches) for males
I had wondered how one does measure that, and this picture from the above linked site shows that:
So, what size are your hand, and what size of ukulele do you prefer?
Mine are (measured like above):
Length: 198 mm (7.78 inches)
Width: 97 mm (3.81 inches)
Index finger: 78mm/3.07" (measured from the first "wrinkled line" of the finger's base inside the palm to the tip without nail)
What's your hand size?
(Yes, women may participate, too!)
