Best Answer

F-holes on a violin basically let the sound out. The sound from the vibrating string resonates within the body of the violin, amplifying it and giving the sound the unique sound of the violin. The sound waves bounce around inside the hollow body of the violin until some of it leaves the body through the f-holes. F-holes are used instead of round holes to give the violin that crisp, clean sound that they have.

they are called f holes and they are like that so the sound can travel though them and create the vibrations.

the f-holes produce the sound on the violin. the f-holes let the "sound" go in, then it thebounces around inside the body, and spits out the f-holes again, producing the note.

Violas have two holes, called f holes. They are needed to let the vibrations escape the instrument.
