| Ramirez guitars have been the benchmark
for professional level concert classical instruments almost since the 12
year old Jose Ramirez I began his apprenticeship in 1870! Today the
rich tradition of Ramirez Guitars is carried on by Amalia Ramirez in Madrid,
Spain.
Amalia was born in 1955 to Jose Ramirez
III and apprenticed guitar building beside her brother, Jose Ramirez
IV. She has been in charge of every aspect of the shop since the
death of Jose IV in June of 2000 ... checking each and every instrument
at all stages of the construction process!
The Twelfth Fret is proud to be the
distributor for Ramirez Professional level instruments in Canada!
We always have excellent stock of both the Professional 1a level instruments,
as well as the SP and E-series instruments. Today I would like to
feature a new 1a Professional C-650 Traditional model.
This particular instrument was fabricated
late in 2004, is new with full warranty and is being sold at a discount
of $700.00 off our already competitive sell price, simply because
of it's older label. This instrument has all of the nuance,
tonal complexity, dynamic range and lush "Spanish" overall tonality
that we have come to anticipate from the esteemed Ramirez workshop! |
