Hand size often comes up in discussions. Like many size related issues people often worry they don't measure up, but those fears are usually unfounded. For instance, my legs are quite short for a guy. But whatcha know, they get me from A to B 😄

If you need proof that your hands aren't too wee, there is a plethora of YouTube videos from children under 10 years old with tiny hands playing incredible things. Also, one of my favourite YouTube players, Tina S, has very modestly sized hands, especially in the videos where she's 8!

Whenever I start feeling sorry for myself and my small hands or use them as an excuse for not being able to play something I just tell myself " Tina S can do it, so can you!!! "

As for parlour guitars, from what I've seen, while they have shorter necks and smaller bodies, the neck width appears to be the same. Not sure if that'd help you.
