Is this really a problem or more of a perceived one? I hear a lot of folk saying that the tenor fretboard is too big for their tiny hands? I would think then these folk could never approach a guitar. Is this true?
Well, I can't reach a lot of things on a tenor and I was an absolute fail on guitar. So for me, yes, that is true.
Would a mandolin work for you? I think they are pretty neat instruments.

Mandos actually come with their own set of obstacles - I thought with my little hands, the slim neck would be a breeze. Turns out those steel strings aren't nearly as easy to fret as uke strings are! Takes a bit more strength in the hands.
Not to mention that they are doubled so you're not just pressing down on one string at a time, but on two!Turns out those steel strings aren't nearly as easy to fret as uke strings are! Takes a bit more strength in the hands.
