Just for the amusement and amazement of it.
Back in the early Sixties I heard the classic guitar duo, Alexandre Lagoya and Ida Presti in concert. I met them at the reception following the concert. Ida Presti was not a very large woman. Check this out: S T R E T C H ! And scroll down to the second photo.
She's playing as many E's as she can reach. My hands are much larger than hers and I can't make that stretch.
