:: Camara Model ::

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
We call “cámara” an interior fan, also designed by Ramírez, glued in the middle of the sides.

We can build any of your guitars with this fan if the customer orders it specifically. The fan can be made of Indian rosewood or red cedar or German spruce.

It takes away the “wolf” notes, and it helps the sound to be clear, where the notes are perfectly separated between them.

The rosewood fan was introduced for the first time by my father, José Ramírez III, with a very good result regarding the cleanliness of the sound. The red cedar and the German spruce fan was introduced by me, adding to the cleannness of the sound a very similar effect to the 10 string guitar.

It is an ideal instrument for Barroque and Renaissance music.

Its construction details are the same as the Traditional guitar.
