Hand size

hey all, I`m going to take up the bassoon here at my highschool, and I`m slightly concerned that my hands may not be big enough. I haven`t tried it yet, so I have no concept of how long my fingers need to be, so does anyone know long your fingers/hands should be? Grazie!

If your one hand can reach an octave on the piano, your fingers are probably big enough for the bassoon

my hands aren`t very big at all and i`ve never had a problem. in fact when i chose the bassoon it never even crossed my mind that it would be a problem. you should be fine cause i`ve never heard of someone having to small of hands
