I think Ovation should seriously consider building bi-tonal guitars. I know that it wasn't much of a success back when they tried it the first time, but heck, socially acceptable behaviour and prediliction have changed in the last 15 years. I, for one, think it's OK to admit to bi-tonal tendencies. We all have them. What a marketing coup it would be for Ovation to capture this vast audience ... especially the yutes out there who are confused about their own tonality and need for some guitar maker out there to just say "It's OK" to experience and experiment with their bi-tonal side. Moody's already been there with his legend and we've all heard him rave about the experience. He'll never go back now. |

Location: Utah | One should be cautious, though, not to get involved with an instrument that is atonal. At first it might seem to have normal tonality, but once purchased with a no-return clause, it's true nature is revealed. Even after a few drinks on a Saturday night, no tonality can be coaxed from said instrument, and you are forced to admit that it is in fact atonal. |
