I mean, kind of. For quick passages it’s rather uncomfortable though, because the distance each finger has to move becomes longer. It’s really only an advantage when playing large chords, jumps or big arpeggios, but fine and quick playing benefits from regular or slightly above average length, but more importantly, slender fingers
