2. Which instrument do you consider your principal instrument? (e.g. I play 4 instruments & I sing, but I consider the violin my principal instrument, having played since I was 7 and focusing on it the most.) You may name two, if necessary, but not more. PIANO!!!
3. How many years have you played the instrument(s) listed in question 2? ....17 years...

8. Are there any other comments you would like to add? (e.g. are you double-jointed, do you have hypermobility, or Marfan's syndrome? anything that would affect your hand-span in particular. .... I am double jointed but I have small hands! :)
10. Would you prefer your comment to be screened? Nah.
Thank you! I find it interesting that you say you have small hands, since I have the same hand-span as you and I consider my hands to be quite large! I guess it's relative to height. I should probably factor that in too.
