Little over 8 inches or a medium glove size (since I plan on buying a motorcycle for daily transport once I escape from minnesocold).

edit: ugh, glove I like is available in whole sizes only so they'll be a 9 X)

edit 2: oh that measurement, 7.75 inches

No, you lay your hand palm-down, fingers spread. measure thumb-tip to pinky-tip straight across.



8.125" -ish.  6' tall.

 The largest possible size I can get is 8.5"... using an on-screen ruler. I'm 5'3.5", with the tiniest little wrists ever... and piano-hands, so I hear.

L: 9"
R: 7.5" (this one fits behind radiators!)

I don't have a matching set ;D.

8.5" relaxed, 9" with effort to overcome the webbing. I reckon my hand span has increased over time getting to those intervals on the piano. I have piano hands.

Double tenths? ^.^

Mine are somewhere around 8.5-9

I have 7.5'' hand span on both.  I always thought they were fairly big... my mistake!

8 on my strumming/plucking hand, 7.5 on my fretting hand, at 5' 11" I've always had tiny hands, but years of playing the bass kinda stretched the left one out a bit!

Nearly 6 inches for mine when really really stretched out. It's also a bit of a misnomer to my hand size since my thumbs are long for my overall hand size. I did used to use my hands to measure since they had the 1/2' marker
Byes!!!! It's been real but this place isn't for me. Good luck in the future everyone.
