Ramírez Collection

The Ramírez Collection is much more than a book: it is an emotional and visual journey through the history of one of the most prestigious guitar makers in the world. Published in a limited edition and carefully bound, this work has been produced by Brian Whitehouse, official distributor of Ramírez Guitars in the United Kingdom and a profound connoisseur of the world of classical and flamenco guitars.

The book, written entirely in English, recounts in detail the evolution of Ramírez Guitars from its origins in 1882 to the present day, reviewing five generations of guitar craftsmen. Each chapter offers testimonials, unpublished photographs and historical documentation that reflect the soul of the brand: craftsmanship excellence, respect for tradition and commitment to music. In addition, the Ramírez Collection includes a CD with exclusive recordings made with historical instruments from the Ramírez family’s private collection. Listening to these pieces is to enter an authentic and profound sound universe, witness to the musical legacy that has accompanied artists such as Andrés Segovia, Narciso Yepes and Serranito.

This publication will not only be of interest to luthiers, performers and collectors, but also to music lovers and curious minds who wish to understand the essential role that Ramírez has played in the international dissemination of the Spanish guitar. Its carefully crafted hardcover edition makes this book a collector’s item, ideal as a gift or to keep as part of a specialised music library.
