 Even though I'm 6'5" and have above average sized hands, I'm having difficulty reaching the lower notes.
 
 Any tips or suggestions?  Stretches?  Different grips?  Hand surgery? ;^)

 Sorry, forgot to mention that it's a tenor recorder I'm talking about...

 Surgery seems to be a rather radical solution.  I would vigorously discourage that!  Hand excersises and streteches would probably be the best solution.  Consult a physical therapist if you can.  Don't want to over do the stretching either.
