I can do a 9th with ease/comfortably; a 10th if I use the lips of each key.

I can do 10th on most keys except for Eb and Bb. I began to do 10th when studying jazz voicing in the past 4 years, and I swear, that my LH reach grew in the past 4 years. I couldn't do 10th before. I don't know if it grew or just became more flexible, but I wish that it keeps growing till I can do Eb and Bb too... =)

I can reach an easy 10th with my left hand, and an augmented 9th with my right.
With some strain, I can get an 11th with my left, and a 10th with my right. Yup, big hands for a 15 year old. <.<
Oh, and those people with small hands, you can do some passages a lot more fluently than we big handed dudes can. ;]
So don't be fed up about it.

I can reach an octave fine and if I stretch a bit I can reach an augmented 9th at most.
But scales in octaves still are quite a challenge -.-

I can reach exactly an octave. If I try for a ninth I end up hitting the sides of other keys.

I'll figure it out eventually.
Until then you may want to keep a safe distance.

I can hit a ninth... but I know people with smaller hands than mine who can also hit a ninth. Is there a way to practice stretching your hands further?
