Rhonda Boyle
Biographical Info I have been doing research into hand size and piano playing since 2009, when I acquired a DS5.5 keyboard for my grand piano. A DS5.5 has an octave width of just 5.5 inches compared with the 'standard' 6.5 inches. It was manufactured by Steinbuhler.com in the USA. I now coordinate a global movement called PASK (Pianists for Alternatively Sized Keyboards) which is requesting manufacturers to produce keyboards of three standard sizes in future. See www.paskpiano.org. My work background was as a career public servant in Melbourne, working in policy, environmental science and strategic land use planning.
