I like the sound of oval holes, and might buy one
if it's loud enough. Living in Europe I can't afford
the luxury of trying before buying. I must trust
the testimony of others.
Now it seems
that oval holes are by default
short scale, which might
entail a loss of power. This has put me off and
made me choose an f-hole Collings last year.
Recently I've reconsidered;
I have small hands, and feel I have to stretch a bit
to play flat keys like A flat or D flat in
first position; maybe the shorter scale would
solve that problem for me.
What are your thoughts on this matter?
