The Bighorn sheep is an amazing animal that inhabits the high mountain peaks of the Rocky Mountains.  Actually a species of goat, both sexes have true horns (which means that the animals keep them year round and don't shed them).  In the Fall, one can often hear the distinctive sound of the ram's heads colliding with each other as they do battle during the rut.

Please scroll down to see other sound hole options.

Since our line of flat mandolins is named for Montana trees, the A line is named for Montana mountains, and the F line is named for Montana rivers, we had to find another category to name this 2 point after because it's neither an A or an F.

Since the points reminded us of horns the name Bighorn or Elkhorn came to mind, so now we have a new category.

Is this a fancy A style, or a toned down F style?  It all depends on your point of view.
Potato/Potahto.

The standard for this mandolin is F holes, but we often make them with a D hole, or a standard oval sound hole.
