The House of Ramirez has for many years (since 1882!) constructed the finest quality classical instruments played by many of the world's top recitalists including the legendary Andres Segovia, Xuefei Yang, Narciso Yepes, Julian Bream, Alexandre Lagoya, Christopher Parkening, Kazuhito Yamashita, Liona Boyd, Laurindo Almeida, Alirio Diaz, Jose Luis Gonzales, Antonio Lauro, Oscar Ghiglia......

The Professional 1a instruments are now subject to limited production. The Especial Model was designed some ten years ago by Jose Ramirez IV in response to demand for an instrument with a brighter sound with more immediate response. The projection, clarity and playability are are really quite exceptional. What more can be said of instruments of this pedigree - the legend continues!
