What is a "sound hole"?
A sound hole is an opening in the body of a stringed instrument, such as a guitar or violin, designed to allow sound to escape and project outward. Located typically on the front of the instrument, the sound hole helps amplify and enhance the instrument’s sound by letting the vibrations from the strings resonate through the body. Its size and shape can influence the tone and volume of the instrument.
