Apparently, Drum Workshop intends to keep marketing Ovations and [U]may[/U] restart U.S. production but these changes are pretty recent and I imagine plans are still up in the air.
There's this: "Initial reports indicate that DW will be keeping the Ovation brand alive. Scott Donnell, VP of marketing at Drum Workshop, calls it a "fluid situation." "We're excited about the future of Ovation and what we can do with that brand," he says. He adds that, based on preliminary discussions, there is a "distinct possibility" that Ovation will be re-opening a U.S.-based production facility. Although DW will not be showing the Ovation brand at the 2015 NAMM show, they hope to have a presence for next year's event." http://www.acousticguitar.com/News/Ovation-Brand-Sold-to-Drum-Workshop?utm_source=SilverpopMailing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=AG_Weekly_MasterTemplate%20(43)&utm_content=&spMailingID=11555819&spUserID=NTE3ODQ4MDk1OTYS1&spJobID=423767343&spReportId=NDIzNzY3MzQzS0
"It takes a lot of devotion and work, or maybe I should say play, because if you love it, that's what it amounts to. I haven't found any shortcuts, and I've been looking for a long time."
