Location: Boise, Idaho		Songman, do you have a problem with the roundback sliding off your knee? I never heard of the problem when I was skinny.

Songman, do you have a problem with the roundback sliding off your knee? I never heard of the problem when I was skinny.


Well, problem is a big word. It is just different to my other guitars and I always notice I have to hug it more. So I'm going to try and find some material that I can put on the bottom of the guitar (actually on the same place that Ovation themselves, certainly being away of the "problem" made the composite material a bit more rough).

Cheers, Bob.

I always notice I have to hug it more.

If you Hug It More on the top of the body it causes the bottom to slide out.
If you just stand it on your leg, it shouldn't go anywhere.

Also... I searched YouTube for advice and found this:


This is a wood box guitar!
So apparently this is not just an Ovation problem.
(contrary to what all the Salad-Bowl haters say )

Location: Phoenix AZ		Arthur, that was a low blow ... I LOVE SALAD BOWLS. Especially ones made out of plastic.

Location: Boise, Idaho		She looks pretty short. I can understand why she'd have trouble keeping the guitar upright and still be able to play it.

Hug is maybe the wrong word I used, lets just say that while playing I am aware of the fact that she might easily slide away and I have to do something to prevent that. I think I actually sit a bit more straight and even try to raise my leg a bit too. And I've used a piece of chamois like in the video too.

Oh and I would never hurt my sweet Ovation saying that she's got a salad bowl belly, tsk, tsk, hope she didn't hear that

Cheers, Bob.
