I was explaining mandolins to a friend of mine and kind of doing a taxonomy of the different types, and I noticed a category for which I could not think of an example. That would be the flat top with F holes. I am sure they are out there, but I can't recall one.
The question then is, does a flat top with F holes distinguish itself from a flat top with oval hole in the same way as with arch tops?
Any direct experience? Any A-B comparisions?
