Jose Ramirez Rumbero

The Rumbero is an acoustic guitar crafted by the historic Spanish luthier shop Jose Ramirez. The Ramirez workshop in Madrid has been producing some of the world's most respected classical and flamenco guitars for generations.

Yes, the Rumbero is specifically designed as an entry-level flamenco guitar aimed at beginners. It allows students to access the traditional Spanish sound and playability associated with the Ramirez brand without paying master-built prices.

Despite being an entry-level model, the guitar is built to produce the bright, percussive tone characteristic of traditional flamenco music. Its construction allows for the sharp attack needed for flamenco techniques.

Like most traditional flamenco guitars, the Rumbero features a solid top paired with cypress back and sides. It also typically has a lower string action than classical guitars to intentionally produce the buzzy 'sizzle' unique to flamenco playing.
