Q: “You do have – let’s admit it – very tiny hands, and how you get out of that little hand such big sounds is amazing to me. It must be the practice and the study and the learning of the instrument and learning how to create it…”

A: Lou Stein: “You learn to utilize the most of what you have and the fact is that there are ways of going about things using different routes. And when you have a small hand, you find ways to accomplish the same and then of course, there are times when I feel that I'd like to have a bigger hand.”

Interviewer: “Sure”

Lou Stein: “But then on the other side of the ladder, there are people that have big hands say, "My hands are getting in the way. I wish I had small hands."”
