    But they are not. Those are called f-holes.

      F-holes are the name specifically for the holes in the violin family and the contrabass. The more general term is sound hole, which also includes the c-holes of the viol family or the large round hole of a guitar.

      F-holes, in particular, are shaped pretty much exactly like an integration sign.
