Description
Jose Ramirez 1925 – this fine flamenco guitar represents an impressive piece of guitar history – it sounds and plays great!
A beautiful cypress guitar from the workshop of Jose Ramirez. Jose Ramirez was the outstanding guitar maker at that time and is considered the forefather of guitar building in Madrid. It was indeed the case that the guitarists of that time were looking for solutions to the poor sound of the guitars built at that time. They turned to Jose Ramirez, who then created the so-called tablao guitar. The inner structure of this guitar was completely in line with the style and pattern of Torres guitars.
The sound of this Jose Ramirez is absolutely charming and elegant. It has has all the qualities of an high end handmade guitar of the early 20th century in Torres’ style, with the sound resonating off the top, back and sides. It has a loose, dry and penetrating sound with big basses and succulent, fat trebles. The higher registers are incredibly sweet and sensuous. This guitar sings beautifully – it can accommodate virtually any style of music with great charm and elegance.
It is a lively guitar and a lot of fun to play … hard to put it down.
The guitar is in a well restored condition. It has some repaired cracks and a patch on the right side, but all is stable and the guitar is ready to go.
It plays easily, with a low action and a straight neck.
The nut width is 50 mm and the scale length 650 mm.
