Anyone who has played an F-4 style mandolin will attest to the fact that they have a slightly warmer tone with a captivating quality to the lower mids.  This particular mandolin has a stronger treble register than most oval holed f-styles I've played and none of the excessive 'tubby' tonality that plagues some of the older '3-point' instruments.   What a sweet sounding mandolin!
