How long is this recorder? How big would my hands need to be to play it comfortably?

Hello Christopher, it is 25" from tip of mouthpiece to end of the bell. You would need the hands of the average adult.

Hi ChrisI see that others have already given you the specs. I play this recorder nearly every day. I had to train my hands at first to get the low notes and prevent leaking. Now after a couple of months I can play it with ease, but it is a very large instrument and does strain your hands.

The case is 17" long, which corresponds more or less to the main body. Assembled it is 26" long. More than the hand size (I am not a tall person, 5'8"), it is the extension of your hand that counts (how far you can separate your fingers). I play bass guitar and the fingering is not that hard. It is mostly training.The main issue with this recorder is breathing... You need a lot of air, so find a teacher and he/she will begin with breathing exercises... In the first few times, I got shortness of breath and headache. Breathing is the key here!

Hi Chris,Fingering wise, I'd say this the most uncomfortable yamaha recorder to play. You need to stretch your fifth finger on the right hand and you'll have problem if you got small hands. Having said that this recorder has the best sound between other yamaha recorders. I own and play all of them. I came across a factory shop website in us where they add a pedal to this recorder to make playing easier. I'm sure you can find em if you search.Cheers!Pejman

It is about 6 inches square and an inch thick. Do not let its size fool you. It is not a recorder so it doesn't need the space for a hard drive. I questioned it when I took it out of the box. Once you turn it on and tune it in, the questions are all answered.

I am a student as well and used the recorder for class. .. You may want to sit as close as you are comfortable to make sure that you get a good sound quality. for all the classes that I used it for i sat on the second row..

Not sure how exact you need, but it's about 5" tall, by about 2"wide and about an inch thick. I ordered it because a similar mini-recorder I had failed. I was using it for language study. The Craig filled the bill quite nicely, and I'm still using it. Works well. Hope this helped.

From my thumb to my index finger is 7 inches. For me its about the size of a extra large hand. Its very durable, it pulled my buddies full size rig out with it.

It's about 24" long, I wanted it as a volume control for headset to watch TV. The cord to my Head set is about 10 feet so in order to use it I would have to get up and reach for the volume control. This may be fine for a hand held player but not watching TV.

I was unable to stretch my fingers enough to cover all the holes and play this recorder. I am having to send it back. I'm hoping that I can get a soprano recorder that I will be able to handle.

It's not easy like a recorder. You need to practice a lot, but once you get used to it you'll like it.

I ordered a Recording King about a year ago, it arrived, I played it and before 10 days were up I sent it back. It was not the quality I was looking for. So, I'm sorry, I don't know the widest part of this guitar. I got something better for a slightly less price.

Almost! The two subholes are rather tricky but if you play a recorder you should have no problem adjusting to the new instrument. I havent touched a recorder since i bought the ocarina. Its just a lot funner to play in my opinion. The notes ascend as you let go of holes from the tip of the instrument, to the top, followed by the Holes under the instrument, followed by your pinky last.

Mike answered it right. It plugs into the USB port on your PC. That's the size of the recorder and about 3" long.

Dimensions of the Olympus Recorder WS-822 are 10cmx4cmx1.5cm, which fits this case. You could probably stretch the width another half a centimeter. Check dimensions of your Sony recorder and compare.

I have big hands and it is good. Not good for my son. He has a smaller guitar. Not much help I know. Sorry

It was such junk that I threw it away. I posted my review, but they banned it. As I remember, it was around 5.5 " tall, 2.5" wide and .75" deep. I had a quality one and lost it. I needed to see of any of the tape I had were of value. They weren't. Since I have a digital recorder, I have no need and it was to cheaply made I saw no reason to keep it.
