Oops..double post....
This thread is still going?!
F scrolls are sounding as important to its proponents as G strings or Y fronts :D
Interested in where F scrolls originated from (the other two enquiries above seem to initiate my parental control filters lol), I found
www.mandolincafe.com/archives/briefhistory.html
But that's about it. I guess it is a distinctly north American contribution to the evolution of the mandolin.
Nonetheless, its the Sorensen Sprite two point mandolin which wins this A vs F fun thread for me.

The A and the F scrolls make no points: the Sorensen makes two very good ones :D
