Ovation, guitar brand.The sound balance between Ovations male sound energy and the string is exquisite. The thickness and weight of this panel are only one -third and one -half of the Yunshan board, but the strength is several times higher than the latter than the latter.EssenceTherefore, it only needs to be a slight reinforcement to have a better vibration effect than the wooden knot.
To this day, even in some large cities in China, many people may not have heard of guitar like OVATION, but if you talk about the round -bottom guitar, maybe you will say, "Is it the kind of stars?"Probably most people have played this kind of "round-bottomed guitar" (most people play in Japan, South Korea, and even Tianjin products, instead of the American OVATION guitar --- they can be said to be quite large between them.The difference), these four "round guitar" produced in different places, although their feel and tone after plug -in, of course, there is still a big difference in the price, but their "wooden sound" (no plug -in.Sounds) have a common feature: sound and elasticity and penetrating power. The sound and volume of bass to high sounds want to be balanced, especially the audio is particularly rich than the general flat guitar.
Thirty years ago, Charlie Kamans pioneer Charlie Kamans innovation in guitar materials and craftsmanship has achieved an important success.While welcoming the performance and full sound of this guitar, it is also confusing by the amazing design of this guitar.
In the early 1960s, Charlie Kaman felt that he should try to use advanced aircraft manufacturing technology for the design of other products in production, and create a larger and diversified market for its own aviation equipment manufacturing.Guitarist, he fully knows what the guitarist wants, and on the other hand, because of his rich experience in helicopter spiral pulp manufacturing, he has more understanding of vibration than other guitar manufacturers. "Engineers are designingWhen manufacturing helicopters, I try my best to eliminate vibrations, but when designing and manufacturing guitar, I have to find a way to keep vibration. "
In 1964, Charlie Kaman selected a aviation engineering technology group (some of them or carpenter enthusiasts) to complete the project. Their research found that the backplane parallel panel parallel to the panel in ordinary acoustic guitars actually blocked the reflection of sound waves.And the balance of high bars, so they broke the first law of making guitar and developed the "round back theory".This design idea improves the sound reflection, so that the guitar has a good balance from the bass to the treble, and at the same time makes the guitars structure stronger.
The round -back guitar eliminates the reinforcement of the traditional guitar back panel, but the overall structure is more solid, and the different curl radius of the round back can concentrate the sound reflexes to the sound hole. ThereforeThe voices of a much larger guitar.
The technicians of Ovation also carefully studied the location of the sound columns between the backboard and the panel. By selecting different pillar support positions, the OAVTION guitar of different models has their own style. As for the material, it is also on aviation technology.Move your mind.These new sound columns support technology in materials, plus the exquisite round back design, so that the OVATION guitar can also be raised to a new level at the same time.
After two years of piano trial production, I finally brought OVATIONs first product, Balladeer (folk singer) to peoples eyes, and this guitar is now known in the world. At that time, it attracted countless music industries.Curious eyes.
At the end of the 1960s, professional guitarists began to pay more and more attention to the pickups of acoustic guitar, and the quality of the sound amplifier was.At that time, there were many installed pickups to choose from. However, there was no requirement to meet professional performances and recording requirements. Ovation engineers began to form a concept that enabled electric guitar can be accepted by professionals: OVATION installed under the string codepickup.
