Company History: "Kaman Music Corporation, headquartered in Bloomfield, Connecticut, is the largest independent U.S. distributor of musical instruments and accessories. Kaman's musical beginnings came with the development of the unique and famous Ovation guitar (roundback) in 1964 by Charles H. Kaman. In January 2008, KMC was acquired by Fender Musical Instruments Corporation the world's foremost manufacturer of guitars, basses, amplifiers and related equipment.
