"Ovation ist ein Hersteller elektrisch-akustischer Westerngitarren und B\u00E4sse. Die Firma ist mit \u00FCber 40-j\u00E4hriger Firmengeschichte bei Musikern wie Melissa Etheridge, Neil Diamond, Al Di Meola oder in Deutschland Mike Kr\u00FCger sehr beliebt. Ovation war der erste Hersteller von elektrisch verst\u00E4rkbaren Gitarren mit piezoelektrischem Tonabnehmer und ist noch heute f\u00FChrend auf dem Markt der elektroakustischen Gitarren. Charakteristisch f\u00FCr eine Ovation ist der sogenannte Roundback, ein gew\u00F6lbter R\u00FCckteil aus einem speziellen Faser-Kunststoff-Verbundmaterial. Der Firmengr\u00FCnder Charles Kaman baute Hubschrauber. Er war Hobbymusiker und entwickelte 1964 mit einigen seiner Ingenieure eine Gitarre, bei der er Hightech-Materialien mit einer Holzdecke kombinierte und dadurch eine hohe Stabilit\u00E4t des Instruments mit einem ausgewogenen Klang paarte. Neben dem besonderen Korpus wurde im h\u00F6heren Preissegment \u201EAdamas\u201C auch f\u00FCr die Decke der Gitarren ein Verbundwerkstoff verwandt. Diese Decke besteht aus kohlefaserverst\u00E4rktem Kunststoff und einem Birkenfunier in Sandwichbauweise. Durch diese Konstruktion konnte die Dicke der Decke von ca. 3mm (konventionelle Holzdecke) auf unter 1mm reduziert werden. Dadurch sprechen Adamas-Gitarren schneller an als konventionelle Gitarren."@de ,
"The Ovation Guitar Company, a holding of Kaman Music Corporation, is a guitar manufacturing company based in New Hartford, Connecticut, USA. Ovation primarily manufactures acoustic guitars. Ovation guitars are differentiated by their composite synthetic bowl, rather than the traditional wooden back and sides of the modern acoustic guitar as produced by luthiers starting in the late 18th century. Ovation has also produced solid body electric guitars and active basses. Developed starting in 1966 and introduced as the 'Balladeer' in February, 1967, Ovations reached the height of their popularity in the 1980s, where they were more often than not seen during live performances by touring artists if acoustic guitars were being played. Ovation guitars' synthetic bowl and early use (1971) of preamps, onboard equalization and piezo pickups were particularly attractive to live acoustic musicians who constantly battled feedback problems from the high volumes needed in live venues. Since the 1980s they have remained popular with studio musicians, but are less frequently seen on stage. The first Ovation guitar was developed in 1966 by Charles Kaman (born 1919). Kaman, an amateur guitarist from an early age, received his bachelors degree in aeronautical engineering from the Catholic University of America in Washington, and then worked on helicopter design as an aerodynamacist at United. Eventually he founded his own helicopter design company, Kaman Aircraft, in 1945. The Kaman Corporation soon diversified, branching off into nuclear weapons testing, commercial helicopter flight, the development and testing of chemicals, and helicopter bearings production. But in the early 1960s, financial problems due to the failure of their commercial flight division forced them to consider expanding into new markets, such as entertainment and leisure. Coincidentally, Charles Kaman, still an avid guitar player, became interested in the making of guitars. Using his background in aviation engineering, Kaman designed a rounded-bowl back, hoping to improve the flow of sound through the guitar, and developed a new top bracing system. Finally, although he kept the idea of using a wood soundboard, the body and sides of the guitar were manufactured of composite. This configuration has characterized nearly all Ovation acoustic and acoustic-electric guitars down to the present day. In 1972, Ovation introduced one of the first production solid body electric guitars with active electronics, the Ovation Breadwinner. The model failed to gain widespread popularity, however, and production of the Breadwinner and the Ovation Deacon ceased in 1980. Ovation made several other solid body models up until the mid 80s. Many of these guitars have become collector's items since only a few thousand were made of each model. Since that time the company's main focus has been acoustic and acoustic-electric guitars. Other Ovation innovations include composite tops and multiple offset sound holes on guitar tops, pioneered in the Adamas model in 1977. Kaman Music has also sold budget guitars\u2014and even mandolins and ukuleles\u2014based on similar design principles to the Ovation such as the Korean-built Celebrity series and the Korean or Chinese-built Applause brand. Notable Ovation guitar players include John Lennon, Shania Twain, Richard Daniel Roman, Jim Croce, Maury Muehleisen, Joan Armatrading, Glen Campbell, Al Di Meola, Melissa Etheridge, Richie Sambora, Kaki King, Cyndi Lauper, Adrian Legg, Steve Lukather, Yngwie Malmsteen, Ziggy Marley, Stephen Marley, Dave Mustaine, Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, Mick Thomson, Aaron Tippin, Paul Wong, Bob Marley, Robert Fripp, Brian May, Freddie Mercury, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Luis Alberto Spinetta, Kevin Cronin, David Leb\u00F3n, Country Joe McDonald, Victor Heredia, and many others. Besides, Ovation is the recommended guitar in Robert Fripp's Guitar Craft. One of Ovation's biggest critics is Justin Hayward, of The Moody Blues, who states that they are \"very awkward, and hard to play properly. \" Many people find the bowl-shaped back of the guitars awkward at first. But others feel that it conforms to their body."@en ;
