The f-hole is the face of a violin, viola or cello.
From Amati and Stradivari to today's fhole Maestro makers, every maker's f-hole is gathered into one atlas.
Each drawing is a black silhouette traced from the outline of the f-hole in a photograph.

· Atlas — browse by maker, timeline or lineage and follow who learned from whom, where and when.
· Maker page — origin, teachers, pupils, workshop, biography, episodes and sources on one screen.
· Actual size — tap 1:1 to see the f-hole at real size on graph paper (1 square = 1 cm) and save it as an image.
· Quiz — four-choice questions getting harder from A to E, 10 seconds each, 5 hearts. Plus a daily "Today's quiz" and rankings.
· My f-hole — photograph the left f-hole of your instrument and find the most similar f-holes in the Atlas.

The similarity % compares f-hole shape only and is not an appraisal. Your photo stays on your device and is never uploaded.
Actual size uses standard lengths per instrument (violin about 75 mm), as individual measurements are not available.
