The Negra series, named for its dark rosewood back and sides, was one of his more luxurious models and offered a richer tone than traditional cypress construction.

The original tuners have been replaced with gold-tone Rubner El Sonido tuners that function perfectly.

Cypress gives the typical flamenco sound its characteristic dry, percussive attack, sharp and direct in character. On top of that, this Ramírez features an exceptionally thin spruce top that responds almost like a drumhead, supported by equally thin fan bracing. The result is an instrument with a fast, direct response in which every note resonates immediately.
