FOR SALE: José Ramírez, III 1976 Classical Guitar - Please click "PHOTOS" link to see pictures of this guitar.
This is a real collector's item. In June 1976 I visited Europe in order to play concerts in Switzerland and Spain. I stopped in Madrid with the idea of buying a 1st class Ramírez guitar like the one Segovia was playing in his concerts. I visited Ramírez' store on Concepción Gerónima St. When I entered the store, I was surprised to see my photo among those of guitar players that José Ramírez III admired. He had never asked me for one! As soon as I spoke to him about buying one of his guitars, he gave me the royal treatment. He asked Alice and I to go with him to the store's basement, where he allowed me to try 8 of his favorite 1st class 1976 guitars. It became a photo-finish decision after many hours of testing and comparing.
I fell in love so much with the winner, that I played it in all my concerts during the June '76 concert tour. Among other places , I have played it at the U. of Akron's Guitar Foundation 1988 Festival; Buenos Aires Centro Cultural General José de San Martin in Sept., 1990; at the Oberlin Conservatory and at the Buffalo Campus of SUNY's GFA '93 Festival. Last August, when I played a recital at the Luis Muñoz Marín Foundation celebrating my 70 years of "guitarreo", I also played this extraordinary instrument.
