Musical Mind

“Athena is an orchestra at your fingertips”
Why is she playing a keyboard that fits large hands?

Because the traditional piano keyboard was standardized for big hands over a century ago—and children are still expected to play on it.

​

In fact most adult women and even many men have hands that are too small for the standard piano keyboard. 

​

Narrow key pianos are better for most pianists.
