Ovation applause shallow vs mid bowl sunburst

In other words, a 2005 Collectors and an LX Legend. What you really need to do is to compare a comparably braced contoured bowl and mid depth bowl. In the late 90's when Ovation reintroduced what was now called the 'mid depth' bowl, you could still tell a difference.Д¬omparing an LX to an older deep bowl, there's a big difference but it's mostly due to the bracing, not the bowl depth. When Ovation first came out with the shallow bowls, you could tell a big difference. If you want a more balanced sound, then you would prefer mid-bowl.

If low-end is what you what, then deep-bowl is your choice. I own four mid-bowls, three deep-bowls (all non-cutaway ). YES, THERE IS A DIFFERENCE playing unplugged. July 2003 Posts: 1922 Location: Canton (Detroit), MI

(Am I the only one who has heard that old saying? ) I don't have a strong opinion.I just call 'em as I see 'em. When I bought my second Ovation last year I made my choice strictly by the unplugged sound. When I purchased my first Ovation in '70 I didn't have a choice. Now with the new contour bowl there will be more grist for the discussion mill. September 2003 Posts: 9301 Location: south east Michigan But I have been told that is just a coincidence.
