Charlie
Kaman an experienced guitarist took his Martin acoustic guitar in to be repaired
because the neck was warped; he was invited to take a tour of the factory.
He
was amazed to find that they were applying low-tech methods to the making of
guitars.
He offered to purchase the Martin Guitar Company twice, but was turned
down.
Charlie Kaman made a decision to expand his own aerospace company, and
began manufacturing guitars.
He put together a group of people who studied
problems, found answers, and put them to the test.
Charlie Kaman applied
aeronautical and aerospace science to the production of the Ovation acoustic
guitar. The results were the creation of the Ovation Balladeer.
One of the major
differences between an Ovation acoustic guitar and other acoustic guitars is
that the back is round and not flat. One of the findings that Kaman's team made
was that a guitar's flat back interfered with the projection of sound. So they
went with a round back made out of a synthetic plastic material.
Glen Campbell,
a well know performer for his guitar playing in the sixties, and endorsed the Ovation
guitar and regularly played his Ovation acoustic guitar on his TV show. This
helped to contribute to Ovation's success.
To
this day Ovation guitars are some of the most desired and sought after acoustic
guitars.
