KAMAN MUSIC SELLS AMPLIFIER BUSINESS

BLOOMFIELD, Connecticut (June 27, 1997) - (NASDAQ:KAMNA) Kaman
Music Corp., announced it has sold Trace Elliott Limited, its
amplifier manufacturing business in Great Britain to three members
of the Trace Elliott management team.  The purchase price and terms
were not disclosed.

Kaman Corp. announced in January that it was developing a plan to
address its capital investment in the music business.  As part of
this process, management determined to close the Trace Elliott
manufacturing operations and Kaman took a pre-tax charge of $15
million against first quarter earnings as a result.  Subsequently,
an offer to purchase the business was made by Trace's management
group.  Due to the sale, it is anticipated that somewhat less than
the full $15 million charge will be utilized in closing out Kaman
Music's interest in Trace Elliott, with the balance to be utilized
for addressing other costs associated with Music's operations.

The new management of Trace Elliott said the sale will allow the
company to continue to manufacture and distribute innovative, high
quality amplifiers to the international music industry.

Kaman Music Corp. is a subsidiary of Kaman Corp., a widely
diversified company that provides high technology products and
services to U.S. and international commercial, industrial and
defense markets.
