"THINGS
ABOUT THE GUITAR"*
|
|
|
This little book is no more than a compilation of all my articles of the last several years, most of which I have written in response to various request, such as those from trade journals in different countries, form authors of books on the guitar, and even to complete or rectify university theses. Although writing is a sport that does not particularly appeal to me. I have been meeting what I consider to be an obligation the best I can, motivated above all by the tremendous ignorance regarding the guitar and the consequences that this could have on its proper treatment, upkeep. Past and present history, how to assess a good instrument, etc. José Ramírez III *Published in English, Italian, Spanish and Japanese. Please contact us if you wish to aquire a copy |

“ José Ramírez in not just a producer of magnificent guitars but also an indefatigable researcher insofar as the historic evolution of the “kitara” is concerned, the study of the mysteries of acoustics and vibratory waves in bowed, plectrum and plucking instruments. And more, much more… Very few “Luthiers” have come to possess such a vast amount of knowledge and few have applied their knowledge, with so much success, to the progressive practice on their work. In
his tenacious pursuit to realize his lifelong goal, José Ramírez,
has built the most sonorous and beautifully timbred guitars in the whole
world."
