Įnrique Garcia (1868-1922), who began an apprenticeship with José Ramírez brothers in 1883, joined Manuel. Manuel opened his workshop at Cava Baja nº 24, before relocating to Plaza de Santa Ana nº 5, and in 1897 to Calle Arlabán nº 10, where he remained until 1912, before moving next door to nº 11. This caused a lasting enmity between the brothers and they never spoke again. However, for unknown reasons, Manuel changed his plans, and decided instead to start his own workshop in Madrid, which would be in direct competition with his brother. In 1891 Manuel proposed to move to Paris and establish himself there, to which José offered his support. Once he had finished his apprenticeship he left, and with his younger brother Manuel (1864-1916) opened a guitar making workshop in 1882 on Cava Baja in Madrid, before in 1890 moving to Calle de la Concepción Jerónima nº 2. José Ramírez learned how to make guitars while an apprentice to Madrid guitar maker Francisco Gonzalez.
