Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Pianist Corner Sweaty Hands?

My hands sweat so much it's ridiculous to try to practice at all... I don't know if anyone else suffers from this but it is intolerable. I slip and slide all day. I find that about every 30 minutes I'll go to the restroom soak my hands in warm water then air dry them. Then I won't sweat for another 30 minutes. It's a big hassle and in my lessons I can't really go wash my hands all the time, so I play stuff at lessons 100 times worse than I do in practice. It's a real hassle... My teacher knows that I sweat a lot so she understands... But I think we would get a lot more done if she could see how I really play, and what I practiced so hard! She suggested I go to get a paper towel from the restroom before I come to a lesson and wipe up before I play something. But it doesn't really help for more than a few seconds, and once I get into the piece I start slipping and making mistakes again. I have 1 and a half to 2 hour lessons every lesson because it's hard to get everything she wants to get done in an hour so washing my hands really only helps for so long.

It's getting pretty ridiculous... Does anyone have any suggestions to help me out?

Try wearing piano gloves.

Try antiperspirant. There is natural product - a crystal of the main ingredient in commercial antiperspirants. I have seen in it health food stores. you dip it in water and rub it on your hands. It lookds like a quartz crystal. There is also a sporting goods product for guys called something like 'dry hands'. I've tried neither but both may work.

this is not an uncommon problem. One remedy is to rinse your hands with rubbing alcohol before you play. Just let it dry on your hands.

Try to rub baby powder on your hands. It will make your hands less sticky, not sure if it will stop the sweating though.

ThEmUsIcMaNBJ, I hope this doesn't sound facetious because it's meant in sincerity, but I was trying to think of what gets rid of moisture and I thought: would it be possible to rig a small fan (I'm sure you've seen those small clip-on types) so the flow of air would swoop across the keyboard? Can you imagine the notariety you'd receive, should you step into the spotlight? (I'm reminded of the scenes of Richter playing in total darkness except for one light shining on the piano desk.) There you'd be with a small fan clipped to the piano... mystique. People would wonder and talk. Why, you'd get a buzz going!

Ask for a prescription for Drysol from your doctor.

Great idea, Bernard!
