125 Aniversario - Jose Ramirez

Category: General Books
Author/Composer: Amalia Ramirez

A wonderful new book by Amalia Ramirez, the head of the House of Ramirez, commemorating the 125th anniversary of this luthier dynasty. In Spanish and English. This is not a book on the technicalities of guitar construction like the previously-published 'Things About the Guitar', but a beautifully-presented album of photographs of things 'Ramirez'- instruments, awards, certificates, letters and portraits from famous players ( Tarrega, Segovia, Yepez...) sent to the family, historic records, memorial fragments... 'The purpose of this book is to tell the story of this family company. It has been made possible by the many guitar players who...have been inspired by a guitar created in our workshop, and by the many guitar-makers who have learned their craft with us and who have gone on to work either with us or independently... It is my greatest hope and wish that we should continue to tread this path together for many years to come.' - Amalia Ramirez
