Already at the age of 13, he started working in the workshop of Augustín Andrés. In 1910, when he was 31, he worked for José Ramirez I. After this intensive and instructive time he was possibly coming to Paris as the first representative of the Spanish guitar in 1914 and revolutionized guitar-making in France. At this time, the French way of construction with its romantic guitars had become unpopular because of the immense popularity of the piano. In 1938, Julián Gómez Ramírez got to know Robert Bouchet (1898-1986) who bought a guitar from Ramírez. This was the beginning of a friendship and finally, J.G. Ramírez taught Robert Bouchet constructing guitars. Later, Robert Bouchet passed on his knowledge to Christian Aubin, who then, in the 1950s taught Daniel Friederich the art of lutherie. This rarity is in a very well preserved condition and shows smaller repairs.

In the context of the Guitaristic Movement in Bavaria, Hermann Hauser® I built a large number of different guitars; in particular the Vienna models and the Munich models in all kinds of forms, but all in absolute perfection. The Terz, Prim and the very rare Quintbass guitars of Hermann Hauser ® I are of highest quality. Even today, the sound of those instruments is still unsurpassed. Based on his special virtuosity, Hermann Hauser ® I developed technical, patented innovations in the area of construction of the guitar’s tops and body-neck connections.

The Munich Model is characterised by a slimmer design than the Viennesse models. The two-piece spruce top is framed by dark and light purflings. The same arrangement can be found around the sound hole as well. The fingerboard which is located on the body protrudes the sound hole. The eyes of the bridge are decorated with mother of pearl inlays. The two-piece back and the two-piece ribs consist of maple. The guitar has a Viennesse neck-body connection which means that the neck is attached to the body by a screw. A result of this is that it is not only possible to remove the neck, but also to adjust the string’s height individually.

The case was specially made for this instrument and the nacre marquetry possibly imported from the area of Markneukirchen. The famous spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca owned an Ortega guitar, which is kept in a museum in Granada. The instrument is in “restored original state” - which means: great importance has been attached to not change the substance. The guitar impresses with an extraordinary richness of tone-colours.

The guitars were labelled with different manufacturer names like for example 'Petitjean L'ainé à Paris' (like in this particular case), 'Petitjean à Mirecourt' and 'Petitjean'. The innovation of the 'Petitjean' workshops was that guitars were no longer constructed with a two-piece back but rather with one-piece backs, which consisted of solid woods or veneers. In addition to that, valuable precious woods like Brazilian rosewood were processed. The shown guitar is very precisely processed and has a top consisting of finely grained spruce wood. The top’s frame as well as the sound hole is decorated with mother of pearl. This decoration made of mother of pearl can also be found on the sides of the saddle.

His workshop was situated at 7 Rue des Fossés Montmatre. In about 1830, Collin was managing an important musical instrument shop in Paris \"Pres la Place ds Victoires\". This detail is very important for guitarists and musicians: it is the address of René Lacôte, very close to Chanot and Vuillaume, and not far from the Paris Conservatory. We know something of Collin thanks to letters that Chanot wrote to Collin's sister, who had remained in Mirecourt, in which he orders from her accessories for instrument making, tail-pieces, pegs, music stands and other items. From this we may deduce that, although while in Paris at the start of his career he had built some excellent guitars, Collin subsequently preferred to return to work in Mirecourt, where he moved after 1823: here, his network of friends, colleagues and dealers enabled him to maintain commercial relations with Paris, and at the same time, from Mirecourt, to manage a retail shop that was strategically placed in the French capital. This guitar was built around 1830. The top (no cracks!) is made of spruce, back and sides are made of rosewood. It's nicely decorated with mother of pearl inlays around the top and the sound hole.

After that he started to work in Granada at the workshop of José Ortega. Finally he went back to Madrid where he worked at the workshop of Francisco Gonzales. In 1893 he stopped to work as a luthier for five years because of the military service he has to absolve. During that period he was also in Cuba to fight in the Spanish-American war. In 1898 he left the army and opened his own workshop in ‘Calle Nicolas Salmerón’. In 1905 he started to work at the Manuel Ramirez workshop were he took over the position of Enrique Garcia (Garcia has gone to Barcelona). It seems that Hernandez was very much involved in the construction of Segovia's guitar that was made at the Ramirez workshop in 1912.\u003cbr\u003e\nAfter the death of Manuel Ramirez in 1916, Hernandez stayed there to work for the widow till 1920. In 1921 he opened again a new workshop in 'Calle La Aduana'. The guitar has a head shape that was designed by Hernandez in the mid of the 1930's. We can assume that the guitar was build around 1935. The dealer label inside the guitar states that the guitar was built in 1921. It was common at that time that instrument dealers changed the date of construction.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe spruce top is in good condition and basically free of cracks. Just beside the fingerboard there are two little stabalized cracks not affecting the sound nor the stability of the soundboard. Back and sides are made of rosewood.
