I've been looking into putting F holes into my cigar box uke that I'm building and I notice that on almost any stringed instrument, the placement of the holes is next to the bridge, as seen here...
I was going to place the holes like this one though...
...but I don't know if it will sound better closer to the bridge. It makes sense for it to be next to the bridge in my opinion but I'd like to know what an experienced luthier would say. Open for any ideas, or opinions.
One more thing... What's the best tool for cutting F holes?
Thanks!
