finger hole
Where digits go
A finger hole is an opening sized for inserting a finger—found in bowling balls, scissors handles, rotary phone dials, and wind instruments like flutes and recorders.
On instruments, covering or uncovering finger holes changes the pitch: She practiced until her fingers found the holes without looking.
